I agree with you, Ahso. And it would be difficult to function in modern society without that reference. But that makes me wonder whether less complex societies would have been, or are, less concerned with age in the way that we use it. And does that make age a "body" issue...or not? I don't know.

I think it's mind and body, you can't have one with out the other.
Physically our body is present for x number of years.
Mentally we are prolly not the same as our body....
As posted already you can feel or think older or younger than your body.
I also thing for prolonged life you have to keep both active.

Maybe eastern cultures are less inhibited with age. I like that idea more, philosophically speaking.

Mental attitude Theia.
It all depends on one's out look on life, if they are in pain or misery, they will feel their age as that cannot be helped.
One's who just feel sorry for themselves, down, depressed, will feel much older than they arleady are.

Age to me is gaining knowledge and enjoying each and every day to the fullest. One never knows when your life may end so I live each day like it's my last. I never saw age as a number. I see age as an opportunity to better myself.
Age...
Age has been created, so we can be categorised, and targetted for marketing purposes. Naughties, teenies, boomers, tweenies, Gen X, Gen Y, antidiluvian dinosaurs, the grey brigade. Young whippersnappers, old fogies, seniors, mature age persons, the immature, bloody kids, rug rats, gormless adolescents.
Where they want you to enter your age, just put Presbyterian. Where you tick the F or M box, write 29. For religion, write one dozen eggs and a pound of butter please.
Cup of tea and a knee rug, anyone?
Bugger that. Let's put on our brown cardies, our skis and Brunhilda helmets and go check out some double black slopes!!

Age is a method by which we agree to be assigned placement in the linear structure created to attempt understanding perceived relationships between events of which our senses make us aware. :yh_giggle
This linear connection is extremely important to mankind's sanity and attempt to impress its existence on the exterior environment. Appearing younger than the age assigned to us can create a sense of admiration and possibly awe, depending on the range of youthful appearance, as it implies some sort of immunity from the death anxiety. Though I rarely recall my age instantly when asked I don't mind attesting to it. I rather enjoy helping people keep their sanity.

Growing old is a mandatory process. For women, for a period of time, we might even resist aging as we try our hardest to fight off wrinkles and hang on to the physical beauty of our faces.
Yet, getting old is a natural process where things are slowing down, and you'll begin to see that the sparkle in your heart and the twinkle in your eyes make you beautiful in a way that's not achievable in youth.
Go through this list of growing old quotes. Many of them are light-hearted, some are funny and a few are inspiring.
May you retain the beauty of your soul with these aging quotes!

The thing that amazes me most is i look back on photographs of myself as a young girl / woman and can quite clearly see i was beautiful although i did not think it at the time.
I often wonder if i will look back on photographs of myself in 20 years time at this stage in my life and feel the same way.

It's actually all of the above------by body has been alive for 75 years 6 months. According to my health history, family health history, habits etc. I am judged to be 63 years 2 months old by the medicos. My mental attitude places me as a re-cycled teen ager. Socially I am probably viewed as a senior citizen & old fart.

It is a mental attitude, we are only as old as we believe we are.
Once in awhile the physical restrictions of where are bodies are come into play, it is what you do with them. You adjust a little, and then continue on with life.

Buttercup, I've done and thought exactly the same. A few months ago my son in law was looking at a photo of me in the late sixties. It was taken at a wedding and I was wearing the usual sixties garb...big floppy hat over very long hair and a mini dress. My sil was so surprised...actually he was too surprised :-1 Oh well
