Nije prolaznost vremena ono što starenje čini teškim. To je zapravo starosna diskriminacija, predrasuda koja nas suprotstavlja sa budućim samima sobom - a i medjusobno. Ašton Eplvajt nas poziva da stresemo sa sebe užas i pokrenemo se protiv poslednje društveno prihvatljive predrasude. ''Starenje nije problem koji treba rešiti, niti bolest koju treba lečiti'', kaže ona. ''To je prirodni, moćni, životni proces koji ujedinjuje sve nas''.
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.
