Why are people care so much about age?

It does scary. Thats whay people care so much about their age. Everybody wants to live, and as you getting older so you can see the end. You can't do whatever you have done when you were younger. The age can be scary because some people think the number (their age) is count although I think that your age isn't matter. What that matter is how you feel about yourself. Maybe when you are 50 years old, you can't behave exactly like you were 20 years old, and maybe you don't look as you beautiful as you were at 20 but you can make yourself feeling good in a different ways.

because every budy knees down before "rising sun" and if we think young ange as top position of sun than every budy want to be on top. so we should not allow the sun to come down though we know it will come... same for the age

I think its going very much wrong now a days, who want to be a younger. No one cannt decrease his/her age by use of cosmetic products.

I don't have ANY idea why people are so afraid... ... but I speculate that quite a bit of it has to do with the "social brainwashing" we're subjected to every day, hailing "youth" as the be all, end all answer to a happy life. Maybe it's just in human nature to value youth and vitality-- let's face it, people have been trying to find the so-called "Fountain of Youth" for centuries. I'm perhaps the wrong person to ask, because I overwhelmingly don't care about my age. I care about living my life. Once upon a time, I remember my ex being horrified when I started going bald in my 20's... it was almost as if HER image was being tarnished by MY head. While she was researching hair regrowth regimes, I was saying "Who CARES?" Maybe it's a combination of things. We have a natural inclination to admire youth, and the world's great "marketing machine" has taken it to extremes by playing to people's weaknesses and fears. And with EVERYone talking about the "value" of youth, even those who are not afraid of AGING gradually grow afraid of not FITTING IN.

coz maybe they are tents they are afraid of getting older, and i don't care about my age, coz its our part of nature, we born, we live, we die.

I guess it is because of CHANGE... in this fast pace world,the world changes ,people change also... I am not so sensitive about my age 'cuz I still a college sutdent.. people care too much about their ages for reasons,the environment impacts a lot on us,I mean,there always exist so comparison thing in this world,people around u look active and full of passion and also with young face..what u will think...of course u don't want to look older than them... of course it depends when refers to different people, for me,right now,just be natural is enough.. :)

I think people are afraid of getting older because they can not accept the fact that their appearance will change and that they will not be able to do some of the things they were able to do when they were younger. They are afraid of grey hairs, wrinkles, aching body parts and other things related to getting older. I am not going to concern myself about trying to look young when I am older. I am already feeling the aches and pains and am getting treatment for that but will not concern myself with cosmetics and other things.

Maybe because of the responsibility that must be carry-on while having old age will increased. Responsibility to family, friends, sorroundings, environment and to oneself.

people r fearing oldage bcz at the child hood we r on the devoloping period tats means we r not suffering from tensions,and any thing but as they grow older they lack some thing they pocessed at their past.it make some lack of confidence in them.and finally it leads to extrme fear.so we as a human being try to find solutions.some body falls to the advertidsements others not.tats all
