does getting old suck?
|
I'm only 26 but I can tell you I notice a difference in the way my body handles things now.
I used to be able to sleep anywhere and stay up late. Now I'm out of commission for days if I stay up past 12. I need sleep and lots of it. 
I agree with minimalist! At the moment you don't get older any more things are not usually going well for you.
I think it depends on luck though, at what your body allows and the people around you. Often I hear about much older people how they are kind of done with life, and I can't see how I will ever get to that point. But apparently this is what life does sometimes. 
Just call me "Min," dear. Easier to type.

The one good thing about becoming older is that I do not have to put up with the silly notion of having to respect my elders.
Though, to be honest, I did not exactly adhere to that nonsense even in my youth.

I don't like some of the changes I'm going through, but I don't think it sucks so much as it's just different. Rasetsu! My Elder! I missed you, my wise and enlightened Shogun Empress!

Does getting old suck?
I'll let you know when I get there. (April 28, 2014 at 11:45 am)Minimalist Wrote: The only thing worse than getting old is dying young. A big amen to that, my friend.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
The theory of yes- or no.
Jonathan Harker: Are you saying that Count Dracula is our vampire? Van Helsing (Mel Brooks): Yes!… and no… Jonathan Harker: Then what are you saying? Van Helsing (Mel Brooks): I’m saying no. But I’m leeeeaning towards yes. Dr. Seward (Harvey Korman): Then you’re saying yes. Van Helsing (Mel Brooks): No. Dr. Seward (Harvey Korman): Then you’re saying no. Van Helsing (Mel Brooks): Not necessarily. Jonathan Harker: You sound dubious. Van Helsing (Mel Brooks): No -I’m positive! Jonathan Harker: Of what? Van Helsing (Mel Brooks): Of my theory! Jonathan Harker: And that would be? Van Helsing (Mel Brooks): The theory of Yes- or no. Regarding the proposition that getting old sucks, I leeeean toward yes..... or no. Sucks: Things that didn't hurt at one time now do. Doesn't suck: You get to laugh at the young for making exactly the same mistakes you made at their ages while pretending that you didn't.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
I'll let you know when I get old, I will only be 60 this year, still feel (and act) 18 in my head.
Live forever or die in the attempt!
