How old is OLD?
Posted 5 months ago
Best Answer
Old is a state of mind. Yes the body fails..and sometimes the mind. But the heart... the part that makes us who we are is what defines "old".

I know twenty somethings that creak and groan more than my grandmother did at 98. And my gram's could and did laugh and have wit and share wisdom and joys with us til the end. I never thought of her as old.

So... to paraphrase "old is as old does"

OLD is as old as you feel!

I am 56, I feel about 26, but my brain says 6!!

When the physical and cognitive abilities one once had deteriorate to the point that losses of abilities outweigh remaining abilities. (This does not include the differently able or persons who lost abilities due to trauma, accident or illness). Were talking high-end developmental changes over the years.

That does not mean it's time to throw granny out with the dishwater.

Its a state of mind. A mental state, I don't feel old. My body basically lets me know that I'm not 25 any more.

If old is a state of mine, then I am a freaking senior citizen. I wonder if that will get me discounts anywhere?

Old is when you feel as if youve experienced a lot, and youve spent a long time being here on earth
