Well ever since you were born every year after that on that day you've gotten one year older. You've lived through life, and now you have time to sit back and realize wow time goes by fast.

Answer 12

Well, depending on how old "this old" is...no, I'm just kidding.

Most people fear aging (as in getting "old", not just in general) while they are young, but learn to love it when they actually begin aging. I believe this has something to do with wisdom, experience, and senior discounts. =)

I think it's sad that, in modern times, the elderly are set on the backburner. People today have a mindset of, "Oh, well, you're old now. You are of no use to society. Why don't you just sit over here with everyone else like you?"

In the past, the elderly were looked up to and highly revered. Anyone who had that much knowledge, wisdom, and experience (and the luck to make it that far) was to be honored and treated with the utmost respect. I think this is how it should be nowadays as well. Where would we be without the "old" people, who have been there and done that, to guide us?
