Dear Common,
There is a sweetness to this one, but we discussed this about the ill fasting on Yom Kippur. What is different here, (I call someone that age daily.) is that when they were young, the world was in turmoil. (the Great Depression & WWII) Then, was 40 years of national uncertainty, with the fear of atomic war etc. The last three decades were ideal for retirees to enjoy what they worked at their entire life. Now, that there is global tragedy and national conflict again, they see it, as it is not their world anymore. [In a comforting way.]
