Why do people fight the aging process when it can be very beautiful?
We try to hide the effects of the passage of time with make up (first to look older and then later to look younger),
dye their hair, and have cosmetic surgery. 
We try to hide wrinkles and keep everything looking the same.
Why don't we embrace the aging process? It is inevitable. I have noticed that things usually develop a beautiful patina when allowed to age naturally.
With aging, light is allowed to shine in and light up parts not exposed in youth.
Aging adds interest, depth, and character.
The bumps, bruises, and scars life left on my grandparents made them very interesting people. I hope I can age as gracefully and naturally as them.
On a related note, we recently watched the documentary. "Young @ Heart You're Never too Old to Rock". I highly recommend it.
