Old People Wednesdays

On Wednesday I teach in the morning and then again in the evening, giving me a chance to return home to rest and relax. On my train commute to work I see mostly businessmen, in black suits, between the ages of 25 to 40. However, when I return home in the middle of the day, I am surrounded by the honored elderly.

I often wonder if their way of thinking, their view of the world is far different than mine. We are distanced by generation, culture, and language, so I would guess our thinking is very different.

Talking to one of my older students today, I found that we think the same about one thing: government pension. Most likely we will not see any form of government pension fund in the future.
