Do you know that age-wise, we are all going the same direction? Ponder that a moment. It's one more of the many things we humans have in common. So why do some of us discriminate and devalue the older humans amongst us?
I think there is age-discrimination and devaluing of elderly aged individuals because we forget that we're all going in the same direction.
But you know what? Ageing ceases to happen when you die! Therefore, if one is still alive then there is more life he or she needs to experience. More growth to do. It must not be taken for granted that no matter how many years we have been alive, our spirits are in our bodies to have the human experience.
Getting older is a blessing! It means we're still here to enjoy our family, friends, work, and hobbies a little longer. Ageing sure is better than the alternative - at least most of us think so!
Life is a journey where, as spiritual beings, we continue to grow and evolve throughout our human experiences. Living is a wonderful thing. As we live, we age (aging is synonymous with evolving, changing, growing).
Basically, aging happens folks! No more lamenting about it! If aging concerns you, then do what you can to age well, gracefully, and mindfully. Start setting the standards for your younger friends and family members for aging with grace and poise.
Age-wise, we travel the same direction. Be grateful that you still exist to Live, Love, Learn, and Share in the journey of life.
Best wishes for our (yours and mine) ability to age well,
Kaja Green-Tovar
