Getting Old..?





Hi, it’s me again, back!
Have you ever got obsessed by the idea of “Time is passing me by” ?
That awkward moment when you realize that your lifetime, that precious gift, is slipping away from you hand   ..How do you feel then?
Angry ? Like you’ve been robbed without knowing or noticing? Or burglarized without having the guts to do anything about it.. you just stood there watching silly work days & ridiculous  relationships taking you down?
May be grief ? May be helplessness ?
Have you ever asked yourself why are you feeling that way?
The answer is simple.. I M M O R T A L I T Y !
That deep instinctive longing and glorification of being “immortal”.. the “everlasting” “never ending” beauty & power, which normally fades away with every year along.
Beauty & power, as we know them, with the same preset perspective, that refuses any other forms “beauty” or “power” can take?!
Is it about the “100% obsession” with being strong and capable all the time..in control, as it goes quite the opposite with aging.
What about a 50 years old relationship between an old sick man &woman, with such a smile & level of understanding that makes their life sweet? Isn’t it beauty? Stability of thoughts? Wisdom & experience in some cases..isn’t it a form of power?
How about the ability of giving without expecting direct reward? Isn’t that power & beauty? How about the blessing of acquiring your happiness from the happiness of your descendants?
May be it’s about the ability to accept the change in the sources and means of your pleasure, the ability to see and accept the new reflections of beauty & power from a different mirror. It must be great when you can be happy & pleased when you have a limited-ability wrinkled body.
May be it’s something related to the journey of your life, about what you sowed in the earlier stations to reap at the last ones. May be.
I don’t know a lot about that. But what I’m sure of, that the only matter & problem with being old is being cement stuck to routine and losing the ability to create, imagine, deal with or even accept change.
Old people can’t understand or cope with new ideas or multi options.
They panic from, resist & refuse change.
 I guess our perspective and attitude towards change is what determines our age, whether if we “old” or not yet ;)
So if you wanna “save” your lifetime & the flower power, how about creating change and being the change you wanna see in the world.
 Change is the key.
