Are older people certainly not able to afford a bit of madness and take on challenges? Of course they can, and even that would be advisable. Well, I'm talking about this topic because recently I saw a large group of elderly ladies and gentlemen (between 70 and 90 years old) on TV as they appeared in the "Got Talent" programme. They began to sing the song, what they created and they flurried everyone, the whole audience began to enjoy and smile. Their performance was really cool and with an idea. But most importantly, these people showed courage, desire and enthusiasm in spite of their age. However, I think about why many older people are closing in themselves and not being active too much. Not once I heard from people like that, why they have to do something more and that they are too old. Even from young people, I sometimes hear comments like: "What did these old people come here to do this in this age on stage?" Perhaps as the younger, we should open the door for the older ones more, so that they can feel more comfortable in more aspects of life? After all, age cannot limit us in achieving our goals.
Art may or may not be beautiful. It may or may not be close to such feelings as suffering or love. In my opinion, art should have the right message and content from the author. To force observer's to think. Often in public opinion we hear that many works are "ugly" and "eccentric", and these works very often getting awards. In the eyes of critics of art or some people it looks completely different and they see the main message in the author's work and appreciate his creativity.
Wow, thanks for this! This tone is so different from the typical young people's complaints about old ladies pushing through on busses and forcing them to give up their seats.
OdpowiedzUsuńI agree with you, age cannot limit us in achieving our goals, it's really great when older people decide to realise their passions or dreams, for example travelling to foreign countries and running marathons. Few weeks ago I saw on TV the "Seniors's parade" and I could only smile when I heard these people talking about their active lives, passions and achieving their goals.
