Embrace Aging
Monday, August 31, 2009, Monday, August 31, 2009
All this emphasis on youth,some people dont buy it.
Kids with their struggles,their strife,their feelings of inadequacy,their sense that life was miserable, so bad they wanted to kill themselves.
In addition to all the miseries, the young are not wise. They have very little understanding about life. Who wants to live every day when you dont know whats' going on? When people are manipulating you, telling you to buy this perfume and you'll be beautiful, or this pair of jeans and you'll be sexy and you believe them. Its nonsense.
As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at 18, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at 18. Aging is not just decay. Its growth. It's more than negative that you're going to die, its also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.If aging were so valuable, why do people always say," Oh, if i were young again." You never hear people say,"I wish i were 65."
This shows unsatisfied lives. Lives that havent found a meaning.Because if you've found meaning in you life, you dont want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You cant wait till 65.
"If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow."
