Most people look at ageing as a disease. They do. They have prescriptions and places where you go to eradicate it.
The older you get, the less physically and mentally robust you become.
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.
There is no such condition as 'schizophrenia', but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event.
I think when you turn 50 you get a little melancholic in a way.
We know in the field of aging that some people tend to senesce, or grow older, more rapidly than others, and some more slowly.
Aging is not uncomplicated. Creativity is an extraordinary help against destructive demons.
The real problem is that there's a tendency to associate ageing with loss and decline and things that aren't desirable. But experiencing all that there is to experience in life - whether that's at the age of ten or thirty or fifty or eighty - is what life is all about.
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
