Sometimes the people care too much about their age...
But in my opinion...everybody should be happy, have a lot of fun every day of their lifes.
Allways be smiling and laughing!!!
Because life is to short to be wasted...
ABOUT OLD AGE....
Aging Produces a Heterogeneous Population
Aging is not a disease. It is, actually, a series of processes that begin with life and continue throughout the life cycle. As individuals move through the processes, they become more and more different from everyone else. Thus, it is noted that the aging population is a very heterogeneous population.
What makes individuals, as they age, different from one another is a combination of many factors (for example, place of birth, place of residence, marital status, the foods eaten and not eaten, education, heredity, physical and mental health, family size and composition). There is also a time period effect on an individual. A person’s age when he or she experiences a particular time period (for example, the Great Depression; the assassinations of JFK, MLK, Jr. and RFK; the events of 9/11) also influences how they age. In sum, the factors that influence the manner in which people age are too numerous to mention here.
Because of the burgeoning size and heterogeneous nature of our nation’s aging population, there is a rapidly increasing need to understand both the normal aging processes and the consequences of aging on the population. Where once it was unusual for families to have three living generations, now it is not unusual for families to have four living generations. Many persons experience full lives for two to four decades past 60 years of age. In fact, they are quite capable of enjoying life fully until the end of their lives.
In Conclusion: Some Thoughts on Age and Aging
“Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”
—Satchel Paige
“Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be.
The last of life, for which the first was made.”
—Robert Browning, “‘Rabbi Ben Ezra”
“Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
—Samuel Ullman
“For age is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though in another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away,
The sky is filled with stars invisible by day.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “Morituri Salutamus,” 1875
I hope you enjoy it!!!!
