A lot of people are frightened by old age - by being around people who are, basically, on their way out - but I'm fascinated by it. It's an amazing thing to be around someone who has had a life well lived.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
There's one more terrifying fact about old people: I'm going to be one soon.
I've been accused of being old before my time more than once. It's true that I've always felt an affinity for, and been comfortable around, older people. I attribute this to a childhood spent around my grandparents - and even a great-grandparent or two. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
From my perspective, there's no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you're lucky! The alternative is death.
I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people's reactions to my aging.
I've had old people in my life that I really loved - especially women - so I'm not scared about getting old. It's what's inside that makes us beautiful on the outside.
There's no point living at my age with many ingrained great fears.
To be old is to be part of a huge and ordinary multitude... the reason why old age was venerated in the past was because it was extraordinary.
Old people are scary. And I have to face it. I am old and I am scary.
I think old people are scary. They remind you of your own death. People don't like to tell you that.
