In older days Japan, there was a tradition of the elderly taking a long walk up the mountain once they think they've become too much of a burden to their children and grandchildren.
I actually think there is a real chance that the Japanese people will revert back to this tradition once the problem of its aging population becomes too big.
@Nihonjin1051 what do you think the chance of this tradition returning?
Never heard of that. Asian cultures generally revere the elderly for their contribution to society. It is a big Confucian value that is shared with Japan.
