Agism – what this could mean for you ?

Every day people all over the world are approaching – midlife flash your it –

who now Agism would be part of the mix – when did experiencing life become out dated –

The concept of ageism, or discrimination based on age, has roots in societal

attitudes that developed during the Industrial Revolution. As mechanization

and rapid technological changes transformed the workplace, older workers

began to be viewed as less adaptable and less valuable to the workforce.

The term “ageism” itself was coined by Robert Butler in 1969. Butler, who

later became the founding director of the National Institute on Aging,

recognized the systematic stereotyping and discrimination against people because they are old.

I think it’s safe to say – this way of thinking has been going on for sometime

now – a few weeks go I had an interesting experiences ; I was online – getting

ready to pay; I said good morning to the cashier , I love greeting people with a ” Good Morning” just a friendly reminder – to acknowledgment -“ your here” Everyone has an idea of what they think ” aging looks “ – sound like even feel like and the list continues…

Aging: aging

Like rings in an ancient tree, Each year adds depth to who we are, Wisdom flowing like honey, Stories etched in every scar.

Silver threads weave through hair, Like moonlight on midnight streams, Each line upon our face declares The laughter, tears, and dreams.

Time’s gentle hand bestows Gifts that youth cannot know: The peace of self-acceptance grows, As wild seeds we once did sow.

In aging’s sacred dance, We learn to truly see Each moment’s precious chance To simply, fully be.

So celebrate these changing days, This metamorphosis sublime, For beauty deepens in the ways We gracefully align with time.

You know the old saying “ Age ant nothing but a number ” baby -though the energy may not be the same ; the energy has been re – directed towards wisdom

Age has always been a sensitive topic with more communities – with out love one around; many are faces the aging process alone ; Especially in the lower income family with in the black communities –

Intergenerational Wealth Gap: Historical discrimination and systemic barriers have made it harder for older Black adults to accumulate wealth, affecting their retirement security and access to care.

Groundbreaking achievements from the 1970s:

Sony’s Walkman (1979) revolutionized portable music
The first personal computer with a graphical user interface was developed at Xerox PARC (1973)

Being confronted with ageism is no laughing matter- as for me; I chose to believe in a world were Love will Always shine through.
