I like this quote from the internet.

"The phrase you're looking for is "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away," a popular quote often attributed to Maya Angelou. It emphasizes that the quality of experiences and powerful emotions, not the quantity of time, truly defines a meaningful life."

Age is just a number. We apply this saying only when a person is young but mind

العمر مجرد رقم. نُطبّق هذه المقولة فقط عندما يكون الشخص شابًا ولكنه كبير العقل.

An elderly lady appearing on tv said that she believed the bottle of Guinness she drank ever day is the way to a long and happy life.

Age is just a number is said so often here.
Personally I feel it's a really naive statement.

Why is it naive?
Are you as 20-30 year old interested in an 70-85 year old who's in a scootmobile, needs a walker, has wrinkles, is incontinent, has loose skin and sagged bodyparts and cannot even bend over to pick something up from the floor when they drop it?
And you're younger than their grandchildren?
Get real!

When is age -maybe- just a number?
According to the Essenes we have bodies that can last at least 900 years (source Gregg Braden, scientist).

In that case age is just a number, although even then there'd be vast differences in life experiences and thus wisdom someone has.

There are currently people on the planet who are potentially around 400 years old.
They live far away from society, certainly Western society, and live in healthy clean environment, no stress and the shizzel that comes with Western lifestyle.

We can live much longer, but then we'd have to abandon our lifestyle and the way our societies are construed.
It'd mean moving away from the whole monetary system & jobs that we don't even like as these only wear us out. They give us so much stress and anxiety that they have a serious impact on the length of our lives.
This is scientific.
Then there's the belief the masses have that we die around 85 and that old age comes with a body that breaks down.

So unless we can live at least 900 years like the Essenes said we could, it's just a really unintelligent thing to say that age is just a number.

(That's me being polite and not saying "it's total b*ll*x)

Right

Age is Just A Number..

And as that number climbs be prepared to seem
useless to a large segment of society.

It is going to be 'you' against 'them'.

As you gain in knowledge, they lose their tact.


Clarify please!what

I like the way the Japanese honor their aging
population.

They understand the wisdom those people have
earned.

The age does not matter so much as the knowledge
they share.

We tend to shove them out the door to make way
for newer people.

We roll our eyes at their frailty, slow to realize
that is us in a few.

I can agree with that as well, I was more curious about the

"It is going to be 'you' against 'them'."

and

"As you gain in knowledge, they lose their tact. "

When my Grandfather used to visit us it was a joy just to have him, but he could not see very well so we would find him lodged in doorways, feeling the wood all the way around the door, his way of identifying where he was by feel, not sight.

But the Stepmother from hell would ridicule him for being old..constantly.

As those younger will do, figuring elders have outlasted their usefulness.

And right now, I can see polarizing between generations, particularly politically, but also in things like neighborhoods, social events, etc.

We could use the Japanese sense of honor.

I don't think the polarization is an age thing. It's a societal shift.

There are the differences that every generation will die on that hill - like music, but for the most part I think older generations take a step back and let the young 'uns take their turn, as they should.
