do you believe in that? Me, YES! I DO! life is really getting harder and harder when i get older. Unlike when you fell down you can take a rest and up again. But nowadays, once you fall down hard to get up.

Hello ayis12, Life becomes hard when someone gets old because people do suffer from lot of diseases which need money to get cure and support of their owns.Physically people get weak in old age.People at old age when get support of their kids get along with these difficulties easily otherwise small difficulties too become big.I hope me and wife get support of my son when we become old.

You miss that great old days of yours isn't it? Life is indeed hard when you get older. Remember those days when you just can run all your might to chase your classmate in high school when they get your things and tease you to get it back? Those times in college where you party all night without having with no worries of pain in the stomach the next day? Time flies so fast, we get older each day. I can't even imagine myself struggling to get up in my bed in the morning. Yet despite of that, I want to grow old like everyone. I want to know if who are those person who will stick with me all through and through. It is only our physical body that gets old, never the love that we feel, the knowledge that we gained and our soul. :)

Physically, yes in a lot of ways, but mentally that depends on how we take life...we lack the same amount of self-confidence that we once had when we were young, but even now we get up again after a fall, the thing is the rest phase has extended, that seems long and long...

Hi. Are you referring to the physical act of falling down or the figurative one? Well, in any case, both seem to get a bit hard to do as we grow up. We aren't as resilient as before. When we have setbacks when we were younger, it wasn't that difficult to get up since we know that we have a lot more time to overcome those setbacks. Our passion and zeal to accomplish things are at its peak. But as we get older, this passion somehow diminishes and we're content about the things that come our way. We have a hard time getting up when we fall since our motivation to get up isn't that strong anymore.
