what makes something or someone old?. Is it becoming old is a 'curse'?,Iam not sure. The long duration from birth to death revealing one's phases of life defines it. So one should become old to taste every phases. An oldage guy is the one who represent a complete human in the sense they have no shortage of anything. They have used the fresh air , water , earth...and returned their innocent smile towards nature and still giving hopes to creatures they are surrounded by. So let them old but hold them close to your heart.
