\u201eEhrlich gesagt, ich mochte dein R\u00fchrei noch nie, weil du da immer Paprika reintust, aber ich hab\u2019 nix gesagt, weil ich in dein H\u00f6schen wollte.\u201c<\/a><\/p>\n

Passend zu The Zimmers’<\/em> My Generation<\/a><\/em> hat Salon.com einen sch\u00f6nen Artikel<\/a> \u00fcbers \u00c4lterwerden und der Akzeptanz gegen\u00fcber der Tatsache, dass life a long dying<\/em> ist. Wenn auch der Autor noch nicht ganz so alt ist wie die rockenden Senioren.<\/p>\n

\u201eI was so much older then\/ I’m younger than that now<\/em>, the poet sings. It’s a command. But to keep getting younger, you have to let go of the carapace of your identity and surrender to the unknown. To become who you are, as Nietzsche eloquently put it, you must have faith in the unknown. Because it is the unknown, the world, that sculpts us into the most beautiful shapes. Our own artistry in forming ourselves is nothing compared to the wind, the waves on the beach, the flames. These are the forces that shape children — it’s why their faces carry so much light.<\/p>\n

And the faces of some older people have it, too, that inner glow. It doesn’t come from collecting and piling up experiences and knowledge higher and higher until you are the top dog. It comes from something more humble. In Marcel Camus’ 1958 film Black Orpheus<\/em>, when Orpheus is mourning the death of his beloved Eurydice, Orpheus’ friend Hermes advises him to “Say a poor man’s word, Orpheus: ‘thank you.'” It comes from gratitude.<\/p>\n

But gratitude doesn’t mean forgetting, or not sometimes mourning the loss of what you had, or were.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
