If we discriminate against the older person based on age, we discriminate against ourselves too.... We are all getting old and these attitudes are toxic to our mind because they limit us.
I am about to turn 65 and cannot believe it. I made a decision to work until I reach 70 because I see so many people retire and afterwards, they are lost.
When I was a child, I was taught that it is rude to ask a woman her age. Therefore, when people are rude enough to ask my age, I refuse to tell them. Sometimes I answer, "One hundred and twenty-five." My age 'ain't nobody's business but my own.'
