The fear of growing old?

[Delgboke]

There was a story that was told about a certain young girl who accompanied his parents to pay a visit to his grandparents she was very happy to have see the grandparents but after the whole scene on their way going back the little girl became so worried that she wouldn't like to grow old as the grandparents but this created horrible emotion in the heart of the little girl, but it took the parents of the little girl the age stages of life you have to go through wow end of the day the parents of the girl was able to change her mindset about growing old. If it was you what will you do in that encounter.

Personally I fear a bit of growing old for something like 80 or more you say. But each age in it's history have some positive things about it really. I seen way too much happy people at any age here and there. Just be sure to live the life to fullest, it's way too short.

The core solution for growing old is not to think about it and destroy your well-being. Think about the things you face right now! Enjoy your youth and you will no longer feel fear.

There is no sense of thinking and worrying about growing old and death now, otherwise your life will be intolerable. This is a Law of Nature. You cannot do anything. So, just enjoy the moment and cheer up.

The only way to live long is to grow old. Once that sinks in people usually stop fearing it as much.

Over time, attitudes toward old age change and people begin to accept it as inevitable. When health goes away, the outlook changes.

It changes to what? I am not sure I get it.

I always wanted to be older, so I'm not afraid of growing old

Our attitude towards old age changes as we ourselves begin to age. If we see how we begin to change, and change not the best side, we cease to hold on to this life. Much gives our understanding of the creation of the world, the place of man in it and in general, the place of each of us. If we come to the understanding that we are only a small part of the general idea of a higher mind and that our soul is eternal, changing an aging body to a new one does not seem to be such a personal disaster.

Yes, usually people are very very afraid of being very old and no matter how you put it try to live your youth in a very good and remembering way and you will not be dissapointed anyway. Thanks for keep asking such intimidating question.

I think the parents did very well to aid the little girl's concerns about old age. If I were the one, I would do a similar thing as I will educate the child on the physiological process that leads to old age and also let her know that it is a reward for living a long life on earth

Where is no point of fear of growing old same as a fear of death coz you never was immortal and forever young
it's a same fear that you are not a cat, you never was a cat, you was born a human

Of course everyone don't want to get old anyway like every other person here. But you know what it also can be fixed here no matter what. There are still ways to look younger and better in todays world. How do you really want to change that ?

[HomelandPatriot]
