The world has been over run by old people! As time progresses and years go by, most of the adult populations, such as the baby boomers, are now in their early 40s to 50s. Consequently, more and more products are marketed to exploit their fear of ageing. They strive to look and feel 20 years younger. In this search for eternal youth, plastic surgery, Botox and other methods to recapture their youthful appearance seems meaning less. Is there really a need for wrinkle removal cream? To be old is a feeling, not an image. Feeling young gives people the glow of youth no matter what their age. In the poem "Ulysses" the warrior reminisces about being young again and proposes yet another final adventure so he can feel vital, like he did so many years before on the windy plains of Troy. " I cannot rest from travel; I will drink life to the lees." That attitude is what most ageing people should echo, instead of hitting a certain age and thinking that with out plastic surgery and wrinkle cream, it is all over. People can stay young by living their lives to the fullest, rather than sweating the small stuff.
