I don't know either why people are so obsessed with age. As you get older, and reach an age that (in your own younger years) you thought was ancient, you realise that you don't really feel any younger than you did when you were a teenager. At least, until your body goes 'out of warranty' and all those health problems start piling up. Fortunately that hasn't happened to me yet. In a world where people stay healthy longer and are expected to work longer before retiring, apart from making sure there are jobs for older people and no discrimination against them, I wish we could get back to the situation that still prevails in a lot of the world, where older people are respected for their wisdom and life experiences. After all, there are going to be a lot more of us soon! On the other hand, if we don't keep in touch with younger people and the changing world, we deserve to be sidelined!
