Re: Do you enjoy getting old ?
Well do you enjoy getting old ?


Or do you resent it ?


It is amazing how many people never question their mind set on such a profound fact of reality !
 Quoting: Wisdom 72861860


The best part about getting older is sex drive is not as strong....I don't fantasize like I once did. Not as horny.

Everything still works, but I'm good without sex. Spouse is the same. We only have sex once a week now. Used to have it 5-7 times a week. His sex drive diminished first, but he's a little older.

Love this chapter of my life. We cuddle more!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24570337


Op... There is some honesty for you. Cuddle up you 2!
 Quoting: izzybeth



Its not honesty , the end line of getting old is being a cripple , it may be 1 year or 20 years but it is going to happen if you live long enough

Re: Do you enjoy getting old ?
No, I do not. Getting old in this world is even worse. I don't fear it, and I don't hurt all the time like so many fools who ruined their bodies for a buck, but I have seen the complete LACK of any wisdom in American Older people and I am saddened people expect me to hang out with the idiots because I'm older.

I've found that older Americans are so deluded and impossible to reach, I usually wont bother. Because every conversation goes to "I'm old, I've seen so much, Blah Blah" with not ONE fact to back up anything they think or believe.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70064009


Ever seen those old people taking tablets , chemotherapy , wearing nappies wanting to live longer ?

Loving their own slavery ?

Ask them about the after life and they look at you like you are an alien!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72861860


For a nonbeliever, in their mind, that's ridiculous.

They're so rapped up in the failing vessel, but fail to understand the journey.

Getting old is not enriching , it is slow torture , a pain cycle , do you really think that you can not learn to be wiser with out your body falling apart ?

Re: Do you enjoy getting old ?
At 40, I'm surprised to discover I'm enjoying aging thus far and expect to enjoy the rest.

I want to own it. I hope to never dye my hair, for example ... maybe I can have really nice gray hair ...

I hope I live really long .. I'm aiming for 125+ ... so I want to get old softly and calmly - I have a lot of life left and don't want to burn out.

40 years old is definitely WAY WAY better than 25. When I look at how some people at 60 are living way better than me ... yeah ... work towards it and that's attainable.

:)

Thanks for the cool thread! hf

Re: Do you enjoy getting old ?
I've enjoyed every phase of my life. Getting "older" is a rich in its own way as any other phase. "Resenting" it is useless; railing against the inevitable just makes one bitter.
 Quoting: Larry D. Croc


Resentment is a wise emotion if based on truth

You would have to be a right fool to say that becoming weaker and frail is improving your life...

So many old people just accept getting old its pathetic
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72861860


Sorry OP, you don't have a clue. The ego is the thing that mourns for the physical body as it ages. Because your ego is young and ignorant yet, it drives your thoughts in this direction you're going. I knew a young fella like you when I was young. He always made fun of old people as if he would never be like that. He didn't have a clue either.

I knew then he'd have trouble when he got old, but I had no idea how he might deal with it. Well, now he lives his days in a little fluffy white bubble of denial and cognitive dissonance. The older he gets, the crazier he becomes.

You will age OP. How will you deal with it? By the way, you shouldn't talk of wisdom before having any. cool2

We do ourselves a disservice by constantly repeating that entropy is inevitable and death is certain.

At the very least, if we don't dream it we can never be it.

Everyone gets old, but that doesn't mean we have to degrade and die.

Maybe, when we're like Jack LaLane was at 80 when we're 100, it will become possible to be 250+ no problem.

NOTHING IS CERTAIN

NOT EVEN DEATH OR TAXES

(ask tptb, they'd agree ;))

But we'll never get there with all these self-defeating mantras.

Keep those meat sacks in shape, people. When you die you're dead and that's the end. Make it last.

All the time. Though I disagree on the afterlife one, most of the ones I've met are fully convinced they are "going to heaven" because they know they rock. Even though they are know nothing fools who allowed their country to be destroyed, they KNOW they are saved.

When you accept getting old you send a message to the universe that you agree and want more of the same...


When you resent getting old you send a message of rebellion and the universe will correct your path...
