I think thats the key.... age and ageism is always from the point you are at at the time.
I.e. a 10 year old will see a 20 year old as reaaaaallly reaaaallly old because it's twice their age, when in fact it's only a ten year difference.
Apply the same ten year gap between say a 48 year old and a 58 year old and the difference might not be so hugely apparent because the rate of development has slowed down.
Age doesn't matter it's how you act and feel that counts, and also how the world see's you.
When I was 15 anybody older than 30 was an old git.......... anyone older than 50 shouldn't be here......
When I was 30 anyone over 50 was an old git........... anyone over 70 shouldn't be here.....
Now I'm over 50 nobody is an old git.... (well they are if they want to act like an old git) and if you've got to 90 you've done well, and can I buy you a beer cos I bet you've got some really great stories to tell...
I guess it's just a matter of getting it into perspective, and how the world sees me is their problem not mine.
