First I have to tell you about a joke I heard when younger:
Age is mind over matter, if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter!
Interesting how we revere age
Using instruments often to gauge
Fossils, findings, skeletons and more
Some proudly sit on a museum floor
Some cultures respect elder’s ages
Revered , cared for, thought courageous
Models wearing clothes at sixteen
Down long runways swiftly careen
Job expectancy oh so short
You’re over the hill, no heart
Selling beauty in a bottle tall
Touted, sold, assured to fix all
Others search the fabled fountain of youth
Whether a tall tale, perhaps an untruth
Youth is still much sought after by many
They’d sell their soul, give every penny
To remain young and never age
Still sold to all of us, still all the rage.
Does anyone realize what an awful world it would be if we did NOT age and we all lived until we simply couldn’t stand it any more?
As long as we could continue expanding our mind and ability and interests, wow, but if it were more of the same $$speak, then not so much
