Great topic and here's the other piece of aging: developing a sound, calm, accepting mind that sees past the crap of Western standards -- it's called wisdom. We have a lot of elderly in the Western world, but few elders. And frankly, I don't envy the young me, who understood so little.

As for the creams, surgeries, etc. that results in a population of Bratz doll-looking women (some men, not so many), I love seeing the movie stars and musicians who are aging gracefully.

Thanks for a good read!
