The foregoing looks terrible wild. Maybe even cruelty. But it’s true. Elderly people live in others, different from ours, coordinate systems. Maybe they have more these systems than one. Maybe their senile coordinate systems differ among themselves. I don’t even know when people move from one coordinate system to another. But for me it is absolutely clear that these systems are not like our.
Yes, with most of them it is interesting to talk. Yes, they remember the stories and facts that we have never dreamed – we simply were not even at all then. Yes, they can love, joke, read, sing songs, dance, watch TV, eat, drink – everything is like us. But they are different, and they are not like us.
