Brooks was an old man who spent 50 years in prison. When he was set out of parole, he got a job at a halfway house bagging groceries. Because of his age, he was not really good at this job. He was institutionalized and did not know how to deal when he got out. The world changed. I imagine before he went to prison people would wave at each other while passing on the street, when he came out....that was not happening. That is happening everywhere-no body trusts anybody and people have become tunnel visioned. I assume because of all the change in the world and not knowing how to interact with the newer society, Brooks felt helpless. In the end he killed himself. I wonder ad would bet that is why suicide rates are high-people are lonesome.
For the world to be saved, individuals need to build relationships. This may happen from noticing one another, interaction and knowing how to communicate instead of things being so fast and in a hurry. Nobody could survive on their own.
