LDH2BM - Break HW - Living Funeral Reflection

When i was writing this list of people i was thinking about who has helped me through my life, and all their teachings. I didn't think of who eased my pain but who taught me lessons of how to live, or how to do something at that moment in time, the ones important to give me life lessons which i was to dumb to realize at that time, not being able to see the true meaning behind the lesson and to incorporate it into how i live and progress to the future. looking at this list show how many different type of people i have come by and learned from, and how their views are all alike and all different in their own way. People usually put down their "closest" friends or family members, but i think that there is more than close friends from recient but they can be from long ago too.

By taking questions from others and from my group, i see how finding the life syles of old people are harder and more opionated then medical and social interactions. By looking at all the different answers, some might be wrong or right depending on where to look, like if it is only in a small study, or in a certian area. Old folks are very generalized in this society and many people want to change them by making them "feel" younger and making them change their life syles or their minds.

Paragraph of what i think about old folks:

Through my perception i think old folks are different in many ways to each other and to the newer working generation. I feel that old folks are posed as smelly, cranky, and annoying of how they talk about the old days, but old people are more than that, even though some might be. Some old people want to be alone because they have noting to live for and they are old what they never really wanted to reach in their lives. some old folks are very caring and try to make the best of their lives by teaching other about what they went though. Some old folks try and adapt to the new "in" while others try and change that "in" and bring back the "old". Old folks interact with others in different ways but never always the same, it could be with other old folks, people in their neighborhood or the common place where they do, event heir family frequently show how old folks interact with others. Old folks have different perspectives in life but not just one in my eyes.
