Question: How old!.!.!. is old to you!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't believe in the word!. I am 52!. I've told my daughters that funny thing is I feel 20 inside, sometimes younger!. Many friends I have in the late 60's are younger in Spirit than they were in their 30's or 40's!. I have a friend who is almost 80 who is more alive than many I know half her age!. Age is a counter of the illusion of passing time, but the real us is ageless, never dies, & is forever young at heart!. As we grow "older" we gain Wisdom & this Wisdom is our youth!. Great question!

Perhaps this would depend upon the age of the one being asked as few person truly view themselves as old!.

When this one was a child, anyone over twenty must have been old!.

When this oe was a teenager, anyone over thirty must have been old!.

Now that this one has existed in this present manifestation for more than half a century (but we wil not say how many years past that mark, smile), those who are over eighty appear old!.

Perhaps, should this one survive past that age, one hundred will appear old!.

In reality, it seems to depend upon the outlook, and remaining physical prowess of the individual !.

!.
!. !. !. 87 !. !. !.

When I was in my teens I thought 45 or 50 was old!. I'm now 52 and feel my age to be a gift as have wisdom from experiences, more insight and patience, I very much feel strong, healthy, youthful appearance still, have bright attitude with life and (statistically) many years ahead!.

At age 85 and up the body has more seasoned lines, more body ailments are felt and (statistically) a person has precious fewer years ahead of them!. In that sense, I feel that 87 is "old"!.

Downside of 52 though !. !. !. am more seasoned in years yet not allowed "senior citizen discounts" at dining and social establishments till age 55!. That's not fair!. Middle age to 100 is 50 so I feel those who've reached age 50 be entitled to Senior (Citizen) benefits!.

There's my reply !. !. !. and my 2 cents!.

Probably 72!.

I know some people who are 65 -69 who still run marathons and run a lot and even work out at the gym, pretty damn fit!. So I'd say about 70 and upWww@QuestionHome@Com
