it's obvious people say age is just a number. Well sometimes it is right and because you will see someone who is older and see doesn’t have sense. And you will find a person who can’t be considered old and can be called very wise. Somewhere along the line one has to be told that one can be mature but it does not mean that one can be aged. But the more you age, the more you are mature.
My own point of view , or rather I do not consider the statement ‘age is merely a number.. The more you age, the more you have knowledge. I respect people, and I respect people who respect others in a way that deserves it. Well, don't quote me wrong. Not all aged people should be respected as they are, because even the idiots become old. However, the truth is hardly that number can define the human age.
I really like to be where elders are talking,and this is because I am surely going to learn one or two things from them. For instance, if I stand here and tell you that age is just a number, most of us can turn around and disrespect our parents. We do not respect our parents because age is nothing but numbers anyway we are still in the same groups.
Those who think that age is nothing but a number are only a group of people who like to ill-treat their elders. The fact that age is attached to learning and experience because the older a person becomes, then the more they become knowledgeable about issues of life. It has always been said and rightly so that age is just a number, then why don’t we know what our lecturers are teaching us before they teach us since we are of the same age group.
Same things go to couples, but in couples it is slightly different. Well, actually, we have a combination of people, I mean, if you are five years older than someone. It still makes you belong to the same set. But the moment you come to use ten years and so on it is another thing completely. If you must know, there is nothing wrong in getting married to your age mate; I have said this before that maturity is not always synonymous with age, and vice versa, if two people are couples then there is no way they are not mature.
