+1.... I'd like to eat it before 45. I was at a client's house yesterday for work, and she had 2 daughters, 14 and 15 years old. They looked like little kids, and then I thought, Jesus when I was 16/17 I banged girls that were 15.

It was a freaky moment. Right away I was thinking, "did I really fuck girls that were that young (even though I was also young) that looked so little? How would I feel if I had a daughter that young and found out she was having sex.... I can't imagine them even doing shit like that, looking so young!" I mean, obviously the difference between girls that young and real women in their 20's is staggering, but Christ.... even though I'm older now it kind of felt creepy to realize I had fucked girls that were that age at a point in my life.

Originally posted by MrJiveBoJingles What are your thoughts about getting old?

I'd say it's pretty normal.

quote:

Do you dread it? Do you fear the prospects of your body breaking down, retirement and idleness, fading into irrelevance in the eyes of the young, or the death of your parents, siblings, and friends?

I generally don't dread it.

I'm not terribly concerned about my body breaking down because if it gets to the point where I'm not satisfied with things I'll just call it a life.

Dread retirement? Are you nuts? I'll be retiring as soon as I can comfortably do so, thank you. I look forward to it. There's no reason to dread idleness, as idleness is a choice. If you don't like it then you can just choose to do something...

Fading into irrelevance in the eyes of the young does not matter to me, since the young are already largely irrelevant in my eyes, and I already don't want much to do with them.

I definitely think the worst thing about getting older will be seeing people close to me die; but then against I've done plenty of that already so it isn't a function of getting old per se.

quote:

If you imagine yourself as an old person, do you see yourself as tired, boring, depressed, or sick? Nostalgic about better years that have passed you by? What do you think you will be like as an oldster?

I think it'll be a lot like my life now; except I'll move slower and won't have to work (that's a good trade.)

quote:

Thoughts?

I'm already old enough that I think youth culture is foolish and empty. I have no desire to go back to that lifestyle, so I can't say that getting farther away from it is something that I'm apprehensive about.

I think I'll be better off than most people.

Today's society views old age as something to be looked down upon.
As the body getting weak and "usefulness" failing.

However, I, like ancient civilizations, view old age as a time of great wisdom and enlightenment.

Definitely feel the same way.

Like some folks have commented on here, there is some truth to be said about a healthy 60+ person who is remaining mobile and has a sense of wisdom that some find invaluable. I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to the older generation carrying a sense of experience to the table.

Personally, I couldn't care less how long I live. There are NO guarantees in how long a person may live. I could get hit by a drunk driver tomorrow and never leave the hospital alive again. OR, I could have my flesh slowly deteriorate into a dried up shell of my former self and have my meatbagish-health dangle over the fireplace. OR, I could wax older, wrinkly, still remain active and enjoy a twilight of enlightened peacefulness; engaging the mind in the most productive of less-prestigious paths. Optimism or pessimism is irrelevant and mostly dependent on one's view and attitude of the present.

I am one of the world's most boring humans. I have the most introverted hobbies (music listening and comp., computers, martial arts, books, some games, and some art). I can do most of these when I am an old fart. I have a cell-phone, but 99% of the calls are made by only one person -- my fiance'. I have friends, but they keep disappearing with every stage of my life for new locations, jobs, and other activities... I almost seem to continually reincarnate myself in the same body. Age is merely a byproduct of suffering these continual reinventions of self until I cannot re-fabricate myself in reality any more - RIP.

Am I afraid of becoming an old fart? It is on the bottom of my worry list. Don't you remember that we can die at any time? Well, we can have our health twist and break at any time as well. I could get hit by that drunk driver and become a vegetable instead of expiring. Or I could retain most of my mental facilities but be paralyzed from the neck down and crap my pants without even feeling it.

While I would rather have a clean death than have a lengthy decay process in any way, I have more proactive things to worry about. Things that I can control, I am trying to control such as my education, my relationships, and my pursuit of happiness. I'm young, and therefore have not come across the more negative aspects of aging, but cosmetics and the ability to perform various kicks one-legged for an extended period of time are not treasured possessions.

How does a person remain sane in the light of these lingering threats of unhappiness or death? Everyone has a cop out, and I have my beliefs. Am I afraid to die? I'm only afraid to leave ones that I have managed to love (family, my wife-to-be, etc...)

I don't fear getting old or dying, though I fear becoming senile.

I don't want to live if my quality of life is markedly reduced, or if I'm reduced to a living joke. Prior to death I'm going to take as many drugs and alcohol as I can handle, safe in the knowledge that I can enjoy them to the fullest without repercussions.

All forms are temporary, friend.
