As soon as you reach a certain age, you're thrown onto a kind of mental scrap heap.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The older you get, the less physically and mentally robust you become.
You get to a certain age, and you feel the need to reward yourself just for existing.
Unfortunately, there are mental invalids of every age who exist on other people's terms. It's lazy for older persons to let others make up their minds for them. People have to overcome that.
I'm too old to do crazy things anymore.
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
People say, 'You will be 30 years old; you're too old. You'll get your nose broke,' say dad's a pushy dad. You hear stupid things and put them out of your mind.
It's no use growing older if you only learn new ways of misbehaving yourself.
