Parents' Heed

While we were on a trip, I couldn’t help but notice some elderly individuals scattered around some blocks with nobody taking care of them. It really was a heartbreaking sight. I couldn’t help but question where could their children be and what have they been doing all their lives that made them that way? I don’t believe in poverty being a hindrance to success and solicited to the way they are now, but I do not want to doubt their capacity to improve their lives when they were younger. I just am mystified why some people can live the way they lived and do nothing about it.

Their children, if they have any that is, should have provided some justice of their roles by providing ailing parents with some kind of place to live in and everyday consumption, meager it may be. They could dig up reviews of hospice care providers for them to know alternatives to better their parents’ status, even just for the fact that they were raised by their parents and they weren't neglected. Well, this is just an estimation of what I've seen and what I feel, and not an enunciation of the general views.
