How has society's attitude towards senior citizens changed over the years? 

If you look closely then I would say that change is massive

 And to be honest it's a little heartbreaking

Let me take u back in 30 or 40 years 

In most homes the oldest person was automatically the head of the family

Not officially but in everyday life

If grandfather said something that was final

Not out of fear but out of pure respect because People valued their experience

For any big decision like:- a marriage, 

a property matter,

 a family dispute 

you went to the elder of the house because They were the life guide of the whole family

It is a fact that

Joint families made sure that old age was never lonely

Even if the house was small and money was tight then there were always grandchildren playing around, someone to talk to in the kitchen, someone to sit with in the evening

It's a fact that

Senior citizens had a role

Because

They were needed

 They were the ones who were holding the family together, 

telling stories, 

passing on value

But I am saying with true emotions that

Now everything has changed

Because

We moved from joint families to nuclear families

 From big courtyards to small flats

From having time to always being in a hurry

And in that hurry we left our elders behind

Today society often doesn't see a 70-year-old person as wise

Because

 It sees them as a responsibility

As slow

As someone who doesn't understand the modern world

People may not say it on the face but you can feel it in their behavior

 A simple line which I usually listen for senior citizens that is like 

"You won't understand this" 

It is enough to make an elderly person feel small in his own house

I see it around me all the time

A retired father sitting alone the whole day in front of the TV because his son and daughter-in-law are at work and kids are at school

He has a lifetime of stories to share but no one has the time to listen

Earlier loneliness in old age was rare

But Now it has become almost normal

Work life has changed too

Because

Once you cross 55 or 60 then society starts treating you like you are done

no matter how healthy or sharp you are

 Technology has made the gap even wider

Because A 5-year-old can operate a smartphone but a 75-year-old struggles with a video call

And instead of teaching him patiently we get irritated or we laugh

That little irritation breaks his confidence completely

But it's not all negative

Because One good thing is that people have started talking about it openly now

 I was reading this thread where people from different generations shared how being old feels today as compared to earlier times 

In the case of loneliness, 

the health costs

but also the new independence

It gives a very real picture

And I can say from my best of the experience that today's seniors are also changing

 They are not just sitting and accepting loneliness

Because

Many are joining morning clubs,

 yoga groups, 

senior citizen travel groups

They are learning to use phones, 

they are trying to live for themselves after 60

That spirit is new and I really admire it

As I always write in Articles and speak in my speeches that senior citizens don't just need money or medicine

They need emotional care, respect and a feeling of being wanted

At the end of the day the question is not just about society because It's about us

We became more practical, 

more career-oriented, more busy

And in that race we forgot that those wrinkled hands once fed us

 those tired legs once ran around to fulfill our wishes

Always remember my words that

Respect is not just touching feet on festivals

Because Respect is sitting with them for ten minutes every day without checking your phone

Asking them how their day was

 Listening to the same old story for the fifth time and still laughing

Because old age is not someone else's story

 If we are lucky enough then one day it will be our own story too
