There is nothing wrong with beauty, but, why do we need to look younger then we are? Botox, silicon, gyms… Gyms are ok if you want to make some exercices but… body building? I have some friends that spend hours in the gym just to pretend to be younger.
We can be younger at heart and if you accept that, with age comes some changes in our body, we should be very happy, because we are getting older.The other option of getting older is to die.
So, i’m looking for your opinion on why do this world ask to societies to pretend everybody is younger then he/she really is.
Thank you,
Paulo

it is weird that people measure life by how long you live it,
and not how you live and enjoy it? or how much you produce or give to humanity?
non nego che a volte sono presa dalla paura di invecchiare..questa paura è dettata, dalla consapevolezza che molto spesso si fa l’errore di rimandare ad un momento successivo qualunque situazione.Ora con un po’ piu’ di maturita,’,ritengo che ogni periodo della nostra vita meriti attenzione..Mi piace pensarmi come un albero..ai suoi innumerevoli cambiamenti,al suo mutare con le stagioni,agli adattamenti che deve mettere in atto a seconda di quanto gli accade attorno.Non penso che un albero secolare non racchiuda in sè bellezza.(Bella domanda,sempre attuale).
Its so sad to know that our society dictates us that is important to be phycically beautiful, and this beauty comes with age.
in my opinion i thinik people want to look younger so other people think that he / she has a lot of courage. Coelho, creo que la gente quiere aparentar ser mas jovenes y esto significa que han perdido algo de si mismos como la valentia en busca de sus suenos de que (se pueden comer al mu ndo cuando uno es mas joven) cuando uno es joven tiene menos responsaibilidades y no estamos a tados tanto ALA rutina acomparacion de una persona adulta. eso es mi opinion.. la juventud es sinonimo de libertad, valentia,de suenos etc. y cuando crecemos el entusiamos se baja.

The mystery of ageing – for wines and humans – is to remain young whilst ageing and developing your personality.
Lately I am noticing even more than ever, features. The faces of my friends. They do not try to look younger, but still, look young. A glow, radiance from inside.
SO beautiful!!
There is a very deep rooted perception lingering among people that beauty attracts all. Its one of the easiest way to attract attention. Everyone is fighting for a mark in this world and as they say “a moment of recognition is better than lifetime of anonymity”.I have so many of my friends as to what they look for in a partner and they do admit that good looks comes as a stepping stone to initiate any further action.I have seen my parents worrying about mark,etc that might directly/indirectly effect my appearance. We also associate old age with being fragile, dependent, loss of life. But i feel basically its the forever acceptance of people that drive us to be young.
I really agree with what you said “the forever acceptance of people that drive us to be young”. What is this fear of not belonging or not being accepted that is driving so many of us to live chasing what we had?
I feel that finding that inner strength in keeping peace can be hard and maybe a smile and kindness to your self is always a good starting point…
when we were young, we always wanted to grow up.n when we started getting older we started worrying.Its just because we are not used to be of being contended with what we are.our life would become a lot easier if we start accepting what we are in present
because people loves beautiful things. If you are ugly no one’s gonna give you attention. As if you don’t exist That’s the harsh reality of life. How much more when you are old. So, in order for people to give you attention people need to look younger and beautiful. sad isn’t it?
because the same society has made people think that when you get older you lose power and you stop being the center of attraction. Society is nothing like before when age meant wisdom and succesful accomplishments; just a few enjoy the pleasure of understanding the benefits age gives to a human being. Those who are obssesed about getting physical procedures done or by any other mans should try to embrace age with joy and be thankful, and should work on their phyche.
Because of unconquered temptation which I call VANITY.
I think it is because most people think that old are invalid, so to feel young and to show that is to trying to prove that i am not invalid.
Ser jovem já é um sinônimo de beleza. Nem é preciso ser apolíneo, ter uma beleza grega…basta ter juventude, frescor…Infelizmente os jovens vêem a velhice como um grande e imperdoável defeito. Como se os velhos fossem leprosos, coisas imprestáveis que devessem ser jogadas no sótão. Eu tenho 50 anos, ainda estou muito bem para a minha idade (creio eu:-) ). Não que eu tenha usado e abusado de botox e cirurgias plásticas, coisas que jamais utilizei na minha vida. Mas a postura perante a vida, o tipo de pensamento que alimentamos ao longo dela nos tornam pessoas mais ou menos velhos com o passar dos anos. Mente sã em corpo são. O principal é viver cada momento e cada idade. E eu juro que dos meus 20 anos só queria a pele, porque o resto nenhum credicard paga:-).
