It is not how old you are, it is how you are old,” said Jules Renard. He emphasized on the quality of life during the old age – the how, instead of the number of years that constituted the later period of life. When we bless people, we always say, “Long live!” But, how really blessed is this old age? How good it is to “Long live!” depends purely on the quality of life one lives on earthReferences
