Thoughts on Various Subjects
"Every man desires to live long, but no man would be old." This quote is pretty self explanatory and I think it sort of describes society's view of aging not only today but back then too. Everyone wants to live long but no one wants to be old. Its kind of ironic. We want to live long but we want to stay young. Growing old is inevitable yet we try so hard to avoid it. You would think after all this time, we would realize its useless to avoid growing old. You would think that by now we would just accept that fact that life is going to end and embrace it, not worry about growing old. But even I don't want to die. I want to live long. But yet I don't want to grow old. Society makes such a huge deal about growing old. How awful it is. "You get wrinkles, and lose your eyesight and your hearing, etc." But it is just a fact of life. It is going to happen and there is nothing you can do about it.

This kind of made me think of all of the things people do today to try to look younger. There are many different cosmetic products out there that claim to reduce or prevent wrinkles and also to make your skin look younger, and if that isn’t enough there is always plastic surgery. It just made me wonder why we invent all of these things to try to clog the unstoppable sand clock of time, if it can't be done.
