My parents died in their 60s and didn't experience loneliness and boredom. I wish they were still with me, but they didn't suffer the difficult aging process, which is the only relief.

I developed close friendships with three older people in the last few years, but society's structure segregates us by income, age, race, and cultural diversity.

We rarely encounter new, let alone diverse demographics, and life exhausts us because we're relentlessly working to survive. Most people can't afford unpaid caretaking because our socioeconomic structure enforces productivity, not humanity.

Society is broken.
