Are old people a burden on society?
<|assistant|>
No, old people should not be considered a burden on society. Rather, they should be viewed as a source of experience, knowledge, and tradition. Older people have many years of skills, insight and advice to give, and their wisdom should be celebrated and valued. Older people can also be a great resource for advice and guidance for younger generations, helping to bridge the gap between generations. Furthermore, as long as elderly people are cared for with respect and dignity, the burden on society would not be significant.
