AGING

Since the first contact of a baby in a family core, we can find specific roles like the father, the mother, the brothers and other new participants as the pet, someone that helps in the house service or the grandfathers. If we think in the generality, again we can find an organization like the showed before, but with more people and different speeches or works, plus a lot of “grandfathers” that we called the old people. Nevertheless, the history only be thankful with the old people for this past action or discovers; in this moment they represent a minority in the opinion and a majority in population. The truth is that in fact to be functional to the society, we denied the normal human ageing and force to a rejection of that image of big adult that lose the strength and the hope to live without problems.
It’s very hard to convince an adolescent to believe in a peaceful life with all the goals that we dream completed in our oldness if all the things can be reached being youth or early adult. On the other hand, unfortunately the comparison between an person that starts to be adult and one that begin to be old shows disadvantages for the second; even more if we made a relation with two old persons, would leave harmed the one that shows more number or most difficult problems has. In order to represent that difference better, I think in an example to notice how we choose the perspective about ageing. Then we flip a coin, the answer can be only to options, heads or tails. With the ageing happen the same, but the options should be the development theory or the capitalism influence. The first option presents the good side of accept the natural process, with the principal faculty that all the society give to the big adults, the wisdom. The experience and the knowledge adquired across the time are behaviours that can’t be imitated and the speech is full of feelings and certainty, characteristics like this are those that give a real value to arrive at old phase, and if we also added the miracle of the lineage and share the life with a boy (to be able to have grandsons), the popular phrase fits “is necessary live it to count it”.
Although we have the second option, that guide us to the massive communication slogan “the youth is the key to be successful”; only if we have a good appearance and follow the prototypes of the anxious socioeconomic life that governs in the epoch, can be recognized. For that reason, an old man that has physical decrease or some kind of illness is put far of the work. With time, this person starts to disturb the life style of the other family members and with sadness, finish in a retirement house, a psychiatric center or worse, the street. It’s complicated to not have fear about a future that brings pain and solitude; and the possible solution is try to become in a mad mix of youth and oldness or die.
It is necessary to cross a very long way to break with the paradigms about the aging, but I know that a mature and positive person forehead to the life will recognize the beauty to watch back and to see the tread of her work, without regretting not being what was.
