Age is Beauty

When looking at my grandmother, I can't help be see that the older you get, the more beautiful you get. People are scared of growing old, and scared of wrinkles. Wrinkles? Of all the things to be scared of.
People are finding themselves attracted to plastic surgery, but that takes away your age. Okay, it's understandable wanting to take a few years off, but your age shows your experience. Experience that gives a person an edge in the world. This edge can only be shown through life experiences.
In today's work force, people are becoming discriminated against because of there age. Well, people who are older may not understand new technologies, but they've experienced some amazing things. Some have lived through the great depression, have fought over seas, been alive for the assassination of a president, along with some other life altering experiences.
Being old is knowing the difference between a crush, and knowing your true love. It's knowing who can be a great leader, and who will take us in the wrong direction. It's understanding that things change, people change and life doesn't always turn out the way you want it to.
So they say "age is beauty," so I say, "age is drop dead gorgeous."
