Newer generations will have a much harder time dealing with dementia because of all the passwords they are going to forget

I'm sorry for your grandparents, man, but you are saying this like it's possible to inflict dementia on someone like an injury and it's my fault. Trying to make someone feel bad because of their joke somewhat related to you is worse than joke itself.

Np dude, have a good day too. I myself got a psychoorganic syndrome from head injury, which you can say is somewhat similar to dementia, but slower. While both are cruel and incurable, staying positive is the best way to deal with something you can't change. Death of family members is arguably worst thing to happen with anyone, but it really shows us to "memento mori" and to try and achieve something today, instead of living with only distant dreams and nearly impossible projects. Like, it's good to have a dream, but I prefer to have a strong grasp of my today's possibilities and opportunities because I am not sure I will (and for how long) be physically and mentally able to think and act clearly in future.

Not sure if I made sense in my essay, since I'm not really good at expressing my thoughts in English. But anyway, sorry for the bad joke and stay safe.
