My point being, he has mental issues, most likely from depression, because anyone who climbs a tower either is intending to take his own life, or is looking for help. Being drunk isn't an excuse unless there is already something else there. Still nothing to do with being stupid. I wouldn't think he cares much about his ego doing something like this. It's a cry for help.

Shame on his granddaughter?.........Rubbish!!! I would think the shame is on the drunken 68 year old fool!

It is the shame that he is her grandfather. Read it.

Wake up

Empathy is wasted on humans.

Pity would be more apt in your case.
