Cappysweetie, love your question 🙂

Age—— what really is a number and how does one truly define an age? Honestly, that was one thing I could never figure out especially when I was a young girl goofing around the way a Freebird does....my mom would constantly say to me, "for pete's sake Freebird - act your age!" I immediately responded with, "and how does a 12 year old act? where is the book on that? help me to understand what you mean." As usual, she shook her head back and forth and wandered off mumbling..."don't know where you came from."

My take on the word age....it is just a number that if allowed, will put a fence around the person and their thoughts - it becomes a limit to what one thinks he "should" be doing or being. Birthdays really signify how many times the Earth has traveled around the sun - one revelation per year. In theory, we are ageless unless one chooses to think otherwise and that is cool too - whatever floats the boat that one is riding 😉

Hey virgoangoat - my Dad is in his late 70's and a very active man - he appears to many to be much younger. It's all in the mind 😉

Wrong board for these kind of threads, try the Pisces one..

Hey don't tell me where to post dude 😉

Whatever, I choose the right board 😛

---------------------------------------------------

Anyway, staying at one age just seems so irrational to me and I don't understand why some people never want to age. What about gaining wisdom? How can you do that if you never age .....

Cappysweetie,

I think it depends on how one chooses to view the word "age" - "it's a privledge to grow old." ~ unknown

as well as the word "old"

I am a bit older than most people on this board and I have enjoyed every day of my life...everyday is my birthday! 😉 So, I do not look at myself as "aging" or growing "old" but rather enjoying each day as the gift that it is being glad that I am here and I am alive.

I also believe that those who never want to "age" are fearful of this process - not sure why - they would have to express those thoughts.

You go girl...post where ya want to! I enjoy reading your posts :-)

Hi Freebird!

Well, I posted this topic because last week I heard a few men and women (who are over the age of 25) say that they never want to get old. I lady I know says that she wants to be young and beauty for the rest of her life. Another said that she doesn't want to age anymore after the 25 and someone else commented that its all down hill after you are over the age of 25.

Some people have said that they wanted to be immortal too ... which is kinda wierd to me.

I don't understand why people fear a process that they can't stop ....
