This can be seen from a social point of view as not intentional but forces out side the old man. Forces such as lack of conuslling, poverty, lack of adequate social support etc can lead to such behavour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 86 years old you push your 66 years old wife in the fire? Then you go ahead and attend her funeral. One can not say this weed or madness. It is something out of this world. What can piss you off that much at the age of 86?
This is usually the case when you act emotionally. It’s always good to restrain yourself when you are annoyed. Always find a way of consoling yourself.
