The greatest problem about old age is the fear that it may go on too long.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
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.
From my perspective, there's no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you're lucky! The alternative is death.
As far as I'm concerned, ageing is humanity's worst problem, by some serious distance.
Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
'Aging' has been bad ever since we figured out it led to dying.
One problem with age is that patience begins to ebb.
Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.
The fear of old age is something that one feels when they're younger. Once you get to being old, you're already there, so you don't even think about it anymore.
Age is inevitable. Aging isn't.
