Even superheroes don’t age gracefully

by Penny on September 11, 2009



Everybody wants to grow old and age gracefully. It’s not something that’s easily achievable, given that we have so many things to deal and cope with in life. And who knows, as we move from one stage of life to another, we may even be saddled with more matters that stress us further.

Wasn’t life so much more carefree and happy back when we were children right up to the end of our schooling days? Wasn’t life a lot of fun when we first started out in the workforce? Then we got more and more stress coming our way from financial obligations, family commitments, personal fulfillment, etc. So I do believe that as we move from one phase of life to another, we may not necessarily be moving away from stress but likely to invite more!

Having said that, I think we should all strive to age gracefully, personality and appearance wise. We should learn to let go of grudges and perhaps some unfulfilled dreams so that we don’t hold on to bitterness and regrets. Perhaps build new dreams which you think are more achievable rather than keep those that are going down the drains anyway.

Does it get you down talking about this topic of aging? Well if it does I’m sorry to have brought it up. But there’s something I wish to end this conversation with, which I think will bring a smile to your face. Maybe, just maybe, you will laugh heartily at them too. Enjoy these marvelous images!
