In a world moving at breakneck speed, where technology and new generations set the pace of daily life, there’s something that’s slowly being lost: the emotional connection with our elders. This week, a video went viral on social media for a very powerful reason: it reminds us of a truth that many have forgotten.
The video, barely five minutes long, shows an older man sitting alone on a park bench. Around him, life moves quickly: young people running by, people looking at their phones without looking up, children playing without paying attention to him. In the background, soft music accompanies the images while a voiceover says: “We were all children. We were all young. But not all of us will have someone to remember us when we grow old.”
