How old are we?

Age is but a number... A mindset, an attitude, a belief.

Maybe I've read too much 'out there' material, but what if we didn't believe we aged? What if we didn't believe we get old and deteriorate and eventually die?

Our society is insane - turn on the television (don't!) and you'll see so much marketing designed to worship youth. It's ridiculous. We're backwards in our values and this is predominantly reflected in our ageism, our obsession with youth and external 'beauty', etc. (Who defined what beauty was anyway?? I certainly know I was never asked.)

We get these meat sacks to carry us around for 80 years give or take, then we go away and come back for another round. It's like asking how old your pop can is. It exists for a time, does what it came to do, then goes away, and gets transformed into something new.

How old is your pop can?
