QUESTIONS

Are you afraid to age ? Why / Why not ? No because we 'll all age anyway . I won 't be afraid to age since I know that I already have done my best , so far , in my life . I 'm not afraid to age because when I age it means that my future kids will begin with their lives

How do you feel about aging individuals who do something to make themselves look younger ? I don 't really feel anything about them . It 's up to them if they want to look younger . It 's all right to do those things , if in the first place , they are doing it for themselves . Aging does not mean they should look less attractive . But the best they should do is to go to the gym and exercise for them to look younger , if that is what their hearts desire

In general , do you look up to , or pity the aging individuals ? I can 't say I pity them , and I can 't say I look up to them . But , I pity the aging individuals who are not as healthy as they used to be when they were younger . Health , for me , is the only thing that divides aging people and the young generation

What does aging mean to you ? Aging for me is a natural thing . People age we can 't stop it . We can 't be young forever...
