(A 4Chan “green-text” titled “The elderly is wise”, with a black-and-white portrait photograph of an elderly woman staring into the camera)

Be me, lonely guy in Britain

Get in the public transport to get back home

Sit next to a lovely old lady who smiled at me

Have a little talk

She tells me really interesting stuff and we have some laughs together

She tells that this day se would’ve been celebrating his brother’s birthday but he is gone

We keep talking

She tells me a heartwarming advise:

‘I could stay indoors and think about bad things, instead, I decide to go outside, see things, smile at people, they smile back at me, there is no point of being sad and angry at home’

Actually I feel like if I listened some sort of prophet

She gets to her stop and leaves, we say Happy Christmas to each other

Elderly deserve respect, I’ll probably join as a volunteer to some kind of organisation that helps them.

    Yeah it turns out that the elderly are just normal humans. Some are good, some are bad.
