Tell Me, Who Is Old

Who is “old”in your perception.
I see you as old ,if you think..
Your mind is in some state of  
enlightened perfection!

Some men lose all their hair at
thirty five .
So big whoop, they function and 
are  truly alive!

Old are know-it-alls!
Who think the very little they know
demands a clarion call.


                  10/23/2021

Would love to hear your perspectives  of...”old”
                   Thank you!

My mind is getting grey as my hair. I can only remember a few tasks at a time. I must take my time more than before.

Yes, Elena, this does happen. Do things you love, never stop. Being genuine comes first. Living a lifeto please others, is unhappiness. Dont ever stab another in the back. Do not post mean replies ever. Move on. Panagiota xx

I’m young in mind that is a fact, but I feel old when I stand up and can’t straighten my back… Belle

You're as old as you feel, if you start thinking old, you'll become old, that's what I believe anyway. Tom

Hello Panagiota, some people feel old. Because they tell themselves they are old. Thai is their way of thinking. Others do not. They say I feel young even though i am older I feel young. there is a difference. Hugs,

I'm old because I am on social security now. hahaha. So by "legal definition" I put the age at 66 (even though I see the 60's as the new "50's). However, we are truly only as old as we believe ourselves to be!! Nicey done, Pangie.
