The following content is not suitable for sensitive viewers!
But if you’re old enough, you won’t still be a sensitive YOUNG viewer, because at our age we have generally discarded the words, Vanity, beauty, and longevity.
Are we not all adults, no matter what our age? Because, if you’re not there yet, too damned soon you will be. We know that it’s not about how old we are, but how we choose to live, exercise and eat, and live the lives that we have left. We’re comfortable in our wrinkled or unwrinkled skins. The ones I’m addressing here are commonly referred to as senior citizens, to the ones following in our footsteps, let me tell you this, we haven’t stopped contributing; we’re just getting started.
We have no illusions and know with absolute clarity, and certainty, that we’re getting closer to the ceiling than we are to the floor. We know more about life because we’ve lived longer and learned more about life’s lessons. We’re happier, on the whole than many of you young people. Surprisingly, unlike your obsessions with eternal life, or longevity, we don’t want to live forever. We know, at this point in our existence, the consciousness of mortality is not an elective subject.

I always wondered when there are such warnings and they ask you to click yes or no if you are old enough. How does the Internet know if you are not a child?
I suppose if you imply that you are old enough, the onus is on you.
I always say that age doesn’t matter. We are as old as we feel.
Some days our minds are vibrant and full of the essence of life but our bodies feel the wear and tear of our aging muscles and joints a little worse than the day before. I believe, that those days we should provide comfort and push it just a little less. 👵👨🦳
I didn’t see anything spicy in the title, dear friend
Good for you, Lado, old friend to some of us the thoughts of youth do not bother us at all while others have fleeting moments of romance, the aim of this post was to address both sides of the spectrum.
I have always said that age is just a number! Gotta make the most out of every minute, every day!
That’s the spirit we need on this site Karen.Thanks for commenting. 😉
You are very welcome Andre!
I do believe, I completely fit into that category Karen. I love life and living, and the days I feel my age, I try and take it easy and even pamper my body. It has been a remarkable servant to me and I am grateful.
That warning gets attention for sure Andre.
I’m glad it did, Carol, some may even like the content. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
I’m happy to see it, it got your attention for a second too, Carol.
