Society needs an elder woman to bring love and compassion back. With my mother, I'm seeing how as soon as she turns 60, she is considering herself of no use to the society. What's the most useful then? It's about six years after the last period that the brain has finished remodeling itself and it's standing in this glorious moment that we toss aside that's happening to every menopausal woman today. But what are we doing? We toss her aside because we say you are too old, you have wrinkles, you have menopausal belly weight. You're not useful to the society but actually you're the most useful to the society because your brain just went through a massive remodel process and we need you, we need you to take care of the culture because her brain is geared towards empathy and her brain can see the culture and what it needs. It can see what society needs. And you know what society needs right now? An elder woman to bring love and compassion back.
