I love it...everything one reads is about the aging population and their little 'selfies.' Be it how they feel about getting older, writing their biographies, complaining about their ills or just comparing notes on how badly life goes for them. Everywhere one turns these days aging is in the newspapers, magazines, books, internet and the local cafe.
Get over it! We are all getting old, even the little kids in kindergarten....their days are numbered too. Hateful isn't it.
My dearest friend David has decided that men get crabby and quarrelsome and women just get slow! Oh, how I did disagree with him. Being an old woman, I did agree about the crabby and self-centered old men, but we women don't get slow...it just seems that way to old crabby men!
I live in a town with an older than average population and witnessing the poor behavior of some of the elderly makes me sad. So many have little enthusiasm for our wonderful planet earth or in improving their relations with the people around them. Male or female, they tend to be self-centered, argumentative and appear to me to be depressed. Because of this their health is impaired, cancers, heart diseases, mental illness and other scourges plague them.
Sad as it is that people have become so narcissistic that each feels
they are the only beings on earth who truly feel or know and believe they
are right. None of us are perfect and the older we get the less
perfect we become.
Just enjoy life, one day at a time. Given the government we are stuck with in this country all of we old people really need to cool it.
