This morning’s news featured a ‘heat
or eat’ campaign; focusing on the hardships that older people face thins
winter. Now I'm no economics expert; but when you hear that something like this
happens; you know that something’s gone terribly wrong with life choices. There’s
not been any opportunity for provision; yet there’s the social aspect too.
Older people should not be left socially alone for the state to care for.
Friends and family should have a responsibility too. And friends aren't that
difficult to make nowadays. Just offering someone a simple cup of tea or
talking to someone on a regular basis can have a major difference; and this may
lead to invites to social functions or something even more. But if you really
are in a heat or eat situation; then please do eat and send for help to make
yourself more mobile; at least you will find some warm spaces out there.
