It is a Mystery to Me
I despise the way our society treats aging: like it is a plague that must be avoided at all costs. I believe the aged should be celebrated, and not by getting a lousy fucking discount at Denny's or a better parking spot. I hold the old in the highest esteem, and I think they should be recognized for getting through their lives with a wealth of experience and stories. And, wrinkles are beautiful. Why is there so much pressure to be young? Young people are reckless and headstrong, and mostly only think of themselves.
Often I wish I was old, mostly so I could yell at youngsters and tell dirty jokes. I am also most occupied with the pursuit of knowledge and I wish that I had a lifetime of knowledge to draw upon.
