“There is no respect left. Just look at what is happening now. When parents get old they throw them away in old age homes. In the old days they even took care of their aged oxen. They were not slaughter them because they thought “thanks to them we had bread to eat.” There were such respect for the dead in the old days! I remember the risk we took to bury the dead during the war.”
(Elder Paisios ‘With Pain and Love’)
