It makes sense that the elderly live longer than their children.
It means that if the elderly live too long, it will affect the "fate" of future generations at home. At first glance, this statement has feudal ideas, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that it does reveal some human nature.
Since ancient times, there are many elderly people with long lives in the world, especially in our country, and there is also a "longevity village". Everyone is happy and harmonious, so how can longevity affect future generations?
Why do you say that long-lived old people are descendants of Dick? The reasons behind it reveal human nature.
Colleague Qin Xiao's great-grandmother is over 90 years old this year. Her wife has long since left, and her sisters and brothers have all passed away. The old lady has almost no relatives and friends except her descendants.
Although the old lady's physique is very tough, and it doesn't bring any financial burden to her family, every time Qin Xiao mentions grandma, there is always a trace of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"My mother said, a long-lived old man, his children will be unlucky. Before I was born, my mother had a baby, but she didn't keep it. Don't you think it's a little mysterious? "
I really can't comment on other people's family affairs, but the natural probability of spontaneous abortion itself is 10%~ 15%. How can you put the blame on the old man?
Many people say that a long-lived old man will kill his offspring. Many times it is a kind of self-comfort, self-defense. It's a bit sad to blame his disappointment on the old man and superstition.
Why do they all say that long-lived old people are descendants of Keke?
Although this statement is absurd, there are some practical reasons for its formation.
1. People with white hair send people with black hair.
At present, the average life expectancy of China's population is 74 years, and most elderly people die at the age of 70~80. Many old people live to 100 years old, not to mention friends, wives, brothers, and even their own children.
This situation of "white-haired people send black-haired people" can easily become the basis for confirming this view. In fact, whether there are centenarians on it or not, things will not change much, and it has little to do with longevity.
The old man is in poor health.
This situation is really a bit worrying. No matter how filial children and grandchildren are, once they meet an old man with a long life and poor health, their lives will be affected.
There is an old man in my hometown neighbor, who is only over 80 years old and in poor health. He runs to the hospital every three days. The children and grandchildren of the old man are over 60 years old, and no one has the strength to take care of the old man. The burden fell on the grandchildren.
Each of the four or five granddaughters of the old man takes turns to take care of the old man, and their family life is more or less influenced by the old man.
Although these descendants, as experienced people, do not agree with this statement, under the influence of the elderly, the burden of life has indeed increased a lot.
As the saying goes, "There is no dutiful son before a long bed". No matter how filial a child is, it is inevitable that he will complain when he meets such an old man who is often ill. The sentence "Long-lived old people can be descendants" has been verified again in the face of human nature.
There is a generation gap between generations
As the saying goes, "there is a generation gap at the age of three", and it is even more insurmountable between the long-lived elderly and their descendants.
