What describes "being old"? Minds eye conceives an inutile person with no possessions , which is probably why we stand in awe of age.
We wish we could never have to grow old. We even fancy to go back to our golden childhood days and stay there forever.Isn't that so??
What we fail to realize here is the theme that life is based upon. Life is all about experience that we gather from it. It is not about our physical state or wordly status. Its obout assimilating the experiences that the life feeds us with.
"As you grow old, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the 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."
- This is an excerpt from one of my favorite book "Tuesdays with Morrie" (a must read book).
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
-Abraham Lincoln
