Getting Older

The most amazing thing about getting older is that younger people assume that all your senses

have diminished way below their senses, and; mental acuitiy as well. If you are older and have an auto

accident, everyone blames you, simply because of your age, even when the younger person caused the accident. If you are older and choose not to respond 

to some asinine remark, you are accused of having Alzheimers disease or accused of hearing loss. If you delay

your response because you've learned to be patient and not react to everything, you're called senile. If you see

something different from those around you, you're accused of being blind or not being able to see.

 

The funny thing is that some older people do the same thing to themselves and others. So much hostility is flying

around.

 

Strange world. While the young try to recreate the charm of the 50s or 60s, they will say with great negativity

that the way you

wear your hair is old-fashioned.
