Is Every Age the Best Age to Be?
<p>I’m old. I like being old, and I am good at being old. Being old fits me. I was not good at being young or being middle-aged, and it is nice to discover an age I am good at.</p>
<p>What’s not to like about it? I don’t have to work. I don’t have to earn money. I can do what I want . . . all day, every day. I can afford expensive toys. Things are just better.</p>
<p>That’s what I tell myself, but I’ve been known to lie, even to myself.</p>
<p>The truth may be that I like best whatever age I am at the moment. Today I remember being bad at being young, but I don’t remember thinking I was bad at it at the time. Despite a lot of evidence to the contrary, I thought I was good at being young, and then middle-aged. So, thinking I am good at being old is really not much of a change in my thinking at all.</p>
