first of all, she was a woman- many women in general are more frail than men physically- secondly, she was elderly- 55 is elderly- whether we like to admit it or not- our bodies aren’t as resilient as they used to be- bones do become more brittle and easily broken once we start reaching these ages-
The disrespect that the younger generation has for elderly people today is unacceptable- That was a young punk- a young thug- that attacked an elderly woman because he was a coward that singled out a frailer opponent- He’s as bad as a predator- taking on the weaker and older person to attack- He’s scum-
Yes, agreed, but we’re not nearly as “broken down” as our 75-year-old parents.
My parents never seemed old until about that age - still not totally, but MUCH worse than they ever exhibited before 75.
Not elderly. Middle-aged.
