I've noticed for some time, when I scroll through twitter there are so many age related tweets....examples-"If you can remember this ( there will be a pic of some item from past decades) then you are X years old"....or ......"you're old if you did this when"..... or "how old are you"...."if you played with these toys, then you are X years old"......etc, etc......Is our society more age obsessed than ever? Or am I just being sensitive? 

 It has always irked me when anyone makes passive aggressive comments about older folks, or when I hear those who openly insult anyone who is past an age that is considered no longer youthful( that number is subjective). I believe those who make those types of comments are those who are afraid of aging. Which is funny, imo. Why be frightened of something that is as natural as breathing? Aging is a part of life. A wonderful part, imo. If you take care of your health, you have nothing to worry about. Besides, getting older is a privilege that not all people will get to experience. Aging can be a wonderful teacher.....Certainly no one welcomes *some of the things that comes with getting older", but what is the alternative? So....to those who think they've something special, because they have youth, to them I say, experience too is special. Aging brings that. To those who belittle the aged, because of their older looks, I say, look in the mirror, because your attitudes are far uglier than anyone's wrinkles. To those who think they aren't going to be "old" some day, I'm sorry you've seen your future as being so short......

When people start seeing one another as individuals, each valuable and unique, regardless of age, size, looks, or social standing, only then, imo, will humanity improve...
