GETTING OLD

When you reach a certain age where others would consider you old, you would hope that you have already reached an optimum state of mind. As ageing means your mind and body start to deteriorate and getting old will only magnify your state of mind which is already struggling with the most basic tasks. If old people were selfish as young adults they then  grow into selfish old grumpy people. Old people have even less time to gain the wisdom to learn to be selfless if its not in them to be compassionate and they're not willing to change. We tend to put old people and babies in a similar category of fragility and innocents because at face value they can both seem harmless and wholesome. Where as babies grow to be who they are with the experiences they face, innocents is carried through until they have been corrupted by misguided influences, where as an old persons fragile state makes him or her look innocent but it doesn't mean that he or she is a decent person. Remember if you keep yourself in a negative mindset you would find yourself affected for the worse because your grumpiness would be increased by a higher level the more time passes on and the ageing effects take affect.
