My idea was that age is nothing more than a number. And for a man with some passion when there are no more targets and action plans to meet, whether he likes it or not, ageis a great gift from God..
Old age means freedom, coupled with knowledge fortified with experience.
In Gita Krishna says that for this body, childhood, youth, old age and departure from this body are all too natural and a man who is brave never get affected by it.. देहिनोस्मिनयथापार्थकौमारं यौवनं जरा तदा देहान्तरप्राप्तिः धीरःतत्र न मुह्यति
And Krishna again described births were akin to man just throwing away his old and faded clothes and wearing new ones..
Indian tradition was always to give respect to age, and knowledge at old age wherever it is found although rarely, was just a bonus.
So old age is full of grace and happiness, or it should be.
