How Old is Old?


How old is old? In my perspective, old is 60.

 I think sixty is old because you usually retire near sixty. You don't see people retiring near twenty. They will go to retirement homes. No one near twenty will go to a retirement home. They go to retirement homes for more care. 

 More people die near sixty. That is why people say you die young when you're twenty. When you are sixty, you die old. They will sometimes get diseases near sixty. That is one way they will die.

 You are less active when you are sixty. Your bones become brittle. You can't move as easily. They don't jump on trampolines. Or jog down the street. It hurts them to move.

I now know how old is old. Sixty is old.
