Have we really lost our humanity?

As a school's community service I went to a Senior Citizen Home, being naive at that age I didn't know why there were all those Old People had been staying there and why had their families not kept them with themselves! Later as I grew up and knew the harsh realities of today's scenario (LIFE PER-SE) and was looking for employment I came across an organization which was working wonders with Old People and had been bridging the gap of communication between the two ages.

Still, there is friction and harshness between our set of generation and our previous generation, we leave or want to leave our grandparents, except a handful of few who feel the need of them. While surfing the net I came across a picture of an old man who is having dementia and is left  to wander on streets and no one is caring a damn to help him.

And it's just not our grandparents, it's also the children, and nature that is facing the ire of our inhumanity. We don't care or even want to care for things that will eventually matter to us when they are lost. Are we really such people??? Or is it the conformity effect that we love abiding by???

We have become ignorant towards our own feelings, our own realities since we just want to achieve big and in this process are losing the only thing that keeps us sane. I hope we realize the real essence of our lives and make it worthwhile...
