        Right along with the other 3 in the quartet of happy brain chemicals in your daily DOSE as Loretta Breuning astutely reminds us from her work at the Inner Mammal Institute in Berkeley http://www.innermammal.org

        A model how generations teach younger generations how to be around and care for people with dementia.If those living with dementia were in the public sphere more often would our society be more compassionate as a whole especially to be who are living with cognitive disabilities?

        Tears, big time. Reminds me of story I wrote in my book about a boy in China who took his mother to college and became a National Hero. We are now facing an unprecedented grey wave that will test our humanity. #Aging

        Stunning. Thank you. We have bred a culture here that does not value taking care of those who are elderly or have disabilities.

        This is moving.Yet with all due respect, it contributes to the angst of long distance caregivers(me). This video induced a bad dream about my mother who died from Alzheimers. It encourages selflessness but creates confusion about aging and the current health care system.

        👌values need to be inculcated in youngs from the very start for dev. importance of gratitude especially with the wise population growth in every nation. Concern for my own country where once belief was mother and father as God but with changing values&poor setup for old age care
