Great comment on a NYTimes article on elderly life hacks:

Once you are elderly, I am 72, you realize that you are not so different from younger people. You still have your desires, creativity, enjoyment of life, brains, resilience, sociability, love of beauty, love of life.

It’s only from the outside that we seem different. Inside, we’re the very same people, a little slower perhaps, a bit more pain perhaps, a chronic condition or two, but the same.
