I was flicking through the TV channels yesterday afternoon, and stopped to watch Oprah, normally I don't watch her programmes, but this one interested me. It was a young woman in her 20's or 30's who had an abhorration to old people. To see how she would go, she was made up to look like at seventy year old, her face and clothes looked the part, but her posture did not, she stood too tall, walked too fast, sat with-one leg bent underneath her. Had no one told her about arthritis and stiffening joints? To her amazement, after meeting and socializing with these 'dreadful old people', she found that they weren't so terrible after all. When all was revealed and they saw they had been taken for a ride, they did not berate her for cheating to them, but took her at face value both old and young. They said to her that being old is not important, its just like a shell, its really what's inside that counts. Very Very True.
