please describe how you feel about becoming old?

Answer 1

different age have different duties, now I'm 21and I concentrate on building my future by education and working. So each life span has it's own taste, wither pleasure or sadness. The problem is that people see the beauty of the age they are currently in and so don't wanna give it up. The solution for that is to look around you and you will easily see the beauty of life moaning around you, and be positive never negative. Good Luck ;)

Answer 2

Wow, I try very hard to understand it is a process by which humans continue the life cycle. But in my heart I know how much it S*U*C*K*S! My heart keeps telling me of the things I want to go do, and my body is starting to refuse to do it. It is a constant conflict inside of me. I look in the mirror and I see an older guy looking back at the person who wants to catch a football and run for a touch down, Hit the ball over the fence and round the bases, or leap one last time for a slam dunk. I have spent many years getting wise enough to assist people with daily problems, and building a family to surround me with love, but the cold hard truth is, I HATE getting old. I can not find a way to accept it gracefully. When I go to the hospital for doing something stupid, maybe then I will be able to accept it. Who knows. Good question.

Answer 3

I am not becoming old, that is only a term or a word made by man. I am changing just as I have all my life, and with that change I am watching all the beauty around me. I am watching as my love for my wife grows. I am watching as my children get ready for collage, get married, start carears, have children, etc.. I am watching Gods plan unfold for me and I will take the bad as well as the good. I will learn from the bad and I will treasure the good. I will try to give as much of myself as I can to the world around me. I will try to leave this earth a little better than it was when I arrived. I will await my final reward. I will die happy, knowing I tried, Knowing I loved, and knowing I was loved.

Answer 4

I don't know yet since I am only 53. I run and workout 4-5 days a week, work a fifty hour workweek, and still find time to go out dancing with my handsome husband 2-3 times a month. My kids are great ( one a lawyer) and I learn something new each day. What's not to love about it?

Answer 5

Mixed feelings. It is not fun, as the body doesn't do what you want it to do and sure doesn't look like you want it to. Only upside is the wisdom that comes with age (at least hopefully!) and finding out who you really are, even if you don't like the answer, because it is YOU and you learn to like being you and what you like.

I would not be half the age that I am now again if given the choice because even though I had looks and bod, I never knew who I was or what I wanted and it was hell being in turmoil all the time.

Answer 6

I would like to experience ageing but would also like to have the opportunity to turn back to a certain age if I could, I don't like the idea of eventually becoming weak both phsically and mentally, the thought of becoming incapable and dependant on others concerns me and ultimately, the fact that the older I get brings me closer to death is really quite terrifying.

Answer 7

I am old. When I was young, I never gave it a thought. Now that I am old, I am trying to pack in as much experience in the time that I have left, that I can. Sort of eat, drink and be merry, because tomarrow you may be dead.

Answer 8

The only alternative for each of us is death.
The number isn't so bad as not being able to do things you used to. I was never limber, but now I'm worse.
It's funny; I think of myself as 16 or 29, etc inside.

Answer 9

I liek that I am getting older and people take me more seriously but the thought about getting old and wrinkly and men not liking what they see. What can a girl do?

Answer 10

I don't think of it as getting older, but wiser. What a way to be, I feel really good for 49.
