What an absolutely magnificent metaphor! What a sad dystopia where this situation is lauded as something that makes people feel good.

I don't see an old man crying because he feels noble and humbled at the praise he's receiving for all the good he is doing.

I see an old man terrified that at age 96 he still doesn't have a plan on how his developmentally challenged 63 year old son is going to survive without him without substantial amounts of money.
