Look Younger?

There is nothing wrong with beauty, but, why do we need to look younger then we are? Botox, silicon, gyms… Gyms are ok if you want to make some exercices but… body building? I have some friends that spend hours in the gym just to pretend to be younger.

We can be younger at heart and if you accept that, with age comes some changes in our body, we should be very happy, because we are getting older.The other option of getting older is to die.

So, i’m looking for your opinion on why do this world ask to societies to pretend everybody is younger then he/she really is.

Thank you,

Paulo

My Comment on this:

I remember watching certain program in Nat Geo Channel about natives of America. In there, was the topic with regards to age-defying techniques. One native once said that, why do people choose to do sort of these when in fact we can't turn back times. Today still is Sunday and we cannot claim that it is Saturday. Though we can deceive time through these botox, sylicons, etc., we can't stop the sun from setting. It will still set and we have nothing to do with that. I do agree with what he said, we can't stop time for us to stay young. I have friends who afraid of aging. Pity on them they don't know the value of aging. Paul Coelho is right, being young is not on how we look but how we feel. Pride must be in our hearts for we are lucky that we dwell longer and longer to this world.
