A meaning of elderly

In the end of ourlives, why should we be burdened with such as pain, worry and anxiety? I could not help asking if I have gone through the hard life only for that. 


No answer to this question possibly until the last moment of my life. 


As I wrote in another article titled as "A gift in elderly", living elderly might give us a lot of new experiences. It might be a meaning of elderly, even though it could never be the ultimate answer. It may mean the elderly is the time to get ready free from things in on the earth and eventually to leave it for the another phase.


I am not an eager fan of any movies or movie stars. But the following sentence by Meryl Streep is quite impressive and ascertains an aspect of elderly. I have found this in a post of facebook. It was with her recent portrait. Not like the other most movie stars, she looked to have grown old as she is. No cosmetic suregery etc. I respect her not only as a movie star but also as a human being.

 Aging is not for the faint of heart.

One day, you wake up and realize — youth has quietly slipped away.
But it didn’t leave alone.

It took with it your insecurities, your rush to please, your fear of not being enough.

And in its place?

It left you with something stronger:
A slower pace, but a steadier step.
The wisdom to say goodbye without fear.
The grace to cherish those who choose to stay.
The power to be you, unapologetically.

Aging isn’t about losing — it’s about letting go.
It’s about learning to accept, to release, and to truly see:
That beauty was never just in the mirror…

It lived in every story, scar, and silent strength we carried within.

Aging is a gift. Wear it with dignity.

~ Meryl Streep
