Too Many Older People?

• Older People are becoming a larger and larger percentage of the world population. 
• Some say older people are becoming an overwhelming burden upon the youth of the world. 
• Of course if I qualify as Old I still qualify as a Person.
• As days and weeks and months and years and decades go by each person has more and more knowledge and perspective. 
•  If I, as an older and older person use my increasing knowledge and perspective to do better and better self-care... I will more than carry my own weight in the world.

To The Contrary

                         Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking
                         bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in
                         the plastic state.     

William James

                         If parents and grandparents could but realize the power of their 
                         self-care as a developing model for their intensely observant 
                         children and grandchildren, they would give more heed to noticing,  
                         interrupting, and replacing their own negative self-talk and their 
                         impulsive and dysfunctional repetitive behavior.   

                         When Elders do better self-care, kids do better self-care.
