The fears of old age disturb us, yet how few attain it?
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
As you know, no one over thirty years of age is afraid of tittle-tattle. I myself find it much less difficult to strangle a man than to fear him.
A new study shows that having a severe phobia can hasten aging. But what if my greatest fear IS aging?!?
You'll find people who rib you about their age are petrified about getting old. It doesn't bother me.
As we get older, our fears, in some way, sharpen and become more personal, because we can no longer - let's say take a book like "It" or maybe "Christine," and say these are make-believe fears.
It is the fear of middle-age in the young, of old-age in the middle-aged, which is the prime cause of infidelity, that infallible rejuvenator.
