Being an elder VS. Growing old


A thoughtful distinction between being an elder and growing old for all of us to reflect on from Ms. Maxine Hong Kingston.

" Being an elder is very different from simply growing old and most people are unaware of the distinction... Elders have the wisdom and the ideas and the vision to make a good world... They commit to being leaders and sharing their wisdom with others."
