Staranje ni tako mučno zaradi minevanja časa. Otežuje ga starizem, predsodek, ki nas hujska proti prihodnjim nam --- in drug drugemu. Ashton Applewhite nas roti, naj razpustimo strah in se mobiliziramo proti zadnjemu družbeno sprejemljivemu predsodku, "Staranje ni težava, ki bi jo bilo treba rešiti ali ozdraviti," pravi. "Je naravni, vseživljenjski proces, ki nas povezuje."
It starts between your ears: how do you feel about your own aging? What messages have you absorbed over the years? Look at where they come from. Think about what purpose they serve. Learn about longevity. Start a consciousness-raising group. Question the mainstream narrative. Speak up when you encounter ageist behavior or attitudes. Join forces with olders and youngers to make ageism as unacceptable as any other form of prejudice — and to dismantle them all.
