People don't realize the great happiness there is in living to be very old and together all the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
Things happen to everybody in the course of a lifetime. Relationships end, people die, tragedy befalls everyone. So everyone has this wealth of experience, and the older you are the more you have to draw on.
Every age has its happiness and troubles.
And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
It doesn't matter how old people are. It matters if they love each other and have fun with each other. It has nothing to do with age. To get old is a mental disease. Everything is in the head.
It is people's hearts that move the age.
Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.
Certainly, for time out of mind, an obsessive dwelling on happier former days has been synonymous with getting older, while it was the juvenescent who rushed with open arms to embrace the future.
The only person who can say they're happy getting old is someone who isn't actually old yet. Every day, I get less and less happy about that idea.
