what a life !

A couple of days ago I was walking in mansheya and mahatet el raml
I was walking for quite some time , like 4 or 5 hours
and for the first time I noticed that there were lots of very old people
they all look so alike that I thought I've seen the same person more than once
which made me pay more attention to people's faces
for the first time in my life I was walking and all I really did was stare people in the face
Really I just kept walking for like 2 hours just watching people
I even took the little yellow tram when I was following an old lady
and I even found more old ladies there , they were all so thin that I couldn't even be sure they had bones inside!! most of them barely had teeth
there eyes were so small, reminded me of elephants' eyes
and their skin is coated I don't know how , but really feels like its coated with straw mat
all ladies or men looked alike, yes men and women
it's like many people of the same person !!
I didn't know how I felt then, first I was surprised but then when I thought about it I felt really upset, and felt really bad about myself
these old people I've seen, none of them was under 60 years old (if not at least 70) and they were still working to make a living and make money at least for themselves!!
They were still fighting in life in a way they shouldn't, simply because they're too old to do this!! They ought to have been retired by now! But if they did that they would certainly die of at least hunger! they wont find someone who would pay for food, healthcare, and shelter which are the simple basics of life for all people especially for those
I think as much as we care for orphans, these people too need lots and lots of attention
because there are many of them living without any family
just an old man or lady living in a room somewhere with no relatives at all!! This could be the cruelest thing anyone can go through…
Would I like to end up like this??!! Would you?!! This is the only thing I could come out with...
