> I feel lucky to have a family where no one is left behind or alone.

Or, to reitate once more, a family that accepts you for who you are.

I'm glad for you that it's been so happy and all, but really get it into your head, this situation is not, CANNOT, be for everyone.

You're excluding people without a family and/or who chose not to breed.

What does this have to do with the fact that the majority of old people in USA live alone because they are left alone?

Are you saying that most elderly have no family or kids?

And why people with no family or kids should live in solitude?

I have no kids, for example.

Family is not built on blood alone.

A good chunk of what I call family is formed by people who had no family, lost everything during the ww2 and are not my blood relatives.

I simply said that a community that cares about its members is not a pastoral, there are place where it's still the way they live.

The community can be a group of houses in the Italian country in the middle of nowhere.
