Challenging Perception

Lately I have been thinking a lot about societal concepts and stereotypes about “older.” It seems to me that one’s stage in life rather than age is a more apt frame with which to view behavior and to better understand ones motivations and priorities.

Chronology, nor any other external identifier alone ought to primarily inform our judgment about others. This perspective of course suggests the possibility of widening our lenses beyond all isms.

    Age is nothing more than the number of laps you and the earth have made around the sun together. What you do with that time and the experiences you choose, as well as those chosen for you, constitute the real definition of who we are. Life is about your stage, not your age.
