Well, I do not necessarily fear getting old. However, I fear being unable to do the things that I love because of the limitations of age. It can be frustrating for a person to lose certain abilities. They are unable to move as quickly as they could. They are unable to do as much because of physical limitations.
Unfortunately, time waits for no person. That is why its important to live life at its fullest why we still have the chance. Before we know it, we will be wishing for that time that we might have wasted when we were younger. Time that we could have used to do things that we can no longer do. An unfortunate, but very accurate part of growing old.

Yes I am afraid of getting old.I like that the age should stop in the present condition of me. I know time will not stop. So I want to maintain myself and want to prevent my age now.I will try to not grow old. And I think recent scientific process must invent the process to prevent age.
