Growing Old

Getting old and then getting older and then getting older after that is not much fun...  it is not so much that your body changes and that you can no longer do what you used to do, and it is not so much not being able to remember all that you want to remember...  it is more like PEOPLE TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY when you are old and then older than they are.

These younger types see you as no longer excited or provocative and that your thought are old and antiquated...  but more importantly, they believe that you no longer think like they (the youth) think and there your comments and appearance is simply disregarded.

The irony of all of this is the fact that when I was younger, and then younger, and then younger, I felt just like they (the young) think as it relates to me...  so, it seems that this is something that everyone is going to experience whether they want to experience it or not.

Age not only changes you and how you perceive and think but it change how OTHERS PERCEIVE YOU... and since we judge ourselves on what others think of us, it is a terrible time for some of us when we grow old.

The only consolation that I have is knowing that YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THIS ONE DAY TOO and begin to understand what it is like to grow old.
