Old Is Not A Four Letter Word
I wish the world would stop making the word old a feared word. Personally I wear my oldness with pride, especially since some people don't get the opportunity to get old. With old comes experience, wisdom and the chance to learn more. One of the things we need to learn (or unlearn) is the internalizing the societal negativity toward the word old (particularly in the reference to women) and using it as a derogatory word. If someone calls me old I choose not to be offended.
