Are you ‘Old’?
The other day I was chatting with a friend about a colleague and when I mentioned that the person was 50, she said, “Oh, they are old.” I nearly fell out of my chair. OLD? How is 50 OLD? I did a quick calculation of how far away I was from 50 and then turned to my friend and stated, “50 is not OLD. I’m only 16 years away from 50!” Mind you, I was speaking to a 25 year old who is 9 years my junior, but still, how can 50 be old? This is obviously a classic case of relativity. To a 20 year old, 
who is 30 years away from 50, 50 seems old. Yet at 34, 50 seems much closer…real close to be honest. Hence, it couldn’t possibly be old.
This got me thinking. I’m sure you know some 50 year olds who act ‘old’, while others seem extremely young. Similarly, there are 75 year olds who seem ancient, while other 75 year olds seem very youthful. Translation: Age is chronological and as a result, is a number, while being youthful or old is a state, and NOT a number.
So, how old are you? Ask yourself these questions: Read More…
