Yes, thamiz has presented the point beautifully. The same understanding/affection/tolerance/indulgence is required to be shown towards old people and children.
The counterpart of old porter in railway station is old servantmaid doing hard menial work in many a household. (To this day I've not engaged a maid, young or old!). The wretchedness of poverty is more heartrending to see in old people than the young.
Eager to watch the trends of the world & to nurture in the youth who carry the future world on their shoulders a right sense of values.

and so rather than doing something to alleviate their poverty by actually engaging them to do some work and thus creating an income source for them, you would rather condemn them to their fate?
The old person that seeks employment is probably doing so because there is no one else to look after them. While it may be heartrending, think of the alternative. They are not begging for your charity, so the only option then is to engage them as a maid! Is it not callous to do nothing about it?
When we stop labouring under the delusion of our cosmic self-importance, we are free of hindrance, fear, worry and attachment. We are liberated!!!

We are digressing!? Basically human beings are selfish: I want to spare myself the pain of seeing an old woman suffering under my nose!!! A sort of policy that I'm not aggravating their plight. I donate liberally to homes which shelter old people which give them painless jobs like making santhana malai etc keeping their ego and time well satisfied!

Respect the elders - What does it really mean?
To-days ELDERS are the BEST GUIDES.....for TODAYS BUDS...
... for gaining the TRUE RICHNESS of PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE on Life..
...from the FORE-RUNNER Elders' Experience
Because the Todays Elders.. were the Yesterdays' Buds...
...who BURNT THEIR FINGERS... AND LEARNT LIFE.!
So LARGE-HEARTEDLY... the Elders wish... None else in Future should unduly suffer like them...
...due to LACK OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE... on Life.

Life-Experience is the GOLDEN COMB... presented by God...
...to the BALD-HEADED Man.!
