I was just thinking that we all prize youth so highly and yet age also has tremendous benefits. I know that personally, I would trade the wisdom that has become a highly prized gift, for any amount of youth, smooth skin, beautiful hair and boundless energy. At 60 I still feel amazingly energetic and when I look in the mirror most days, I don't feel too bad about what looks back at me.
Unfortunately, advertizers and beauty product creators would have us believe that unless we look "young" we can't really look beautiful. It seems like a commonplace to say "beauty is only skin-deep" and "beauty is on the inside" but really, I think beauty and youthfulness can't hold a candle to wisdom. And that only comes with age. Your opinion?
