I don't get it

Today i had the chance to go a nursing home for old people... at first i was like uhh i don't think so but then as i was walking down the halls i couldn't help but not think of them as real people. Those men and women once had a greater purpose then they do now and i think we just shut them out and let them die. Lets see things were good today. We had soccer practice which i felt like i would die cuz there was A TON of running but i lived.
