Ok, done. You may grow old in body but not in mind. Fine.Your body may ache, the mind may forget and you may be depressed&#8230;but age is just a number Ok, agreed.</p>
<p>There are benefits and drawbacks.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://i1.wp.com/media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/69/8b/41/698b417a1522022734e91e98428447c5.jpg" alt="" width="486" height="486" /></p>

<p><strong>The Benefits.</strong></p>
<p>You can get away with murder. No not literally,but there are many situations where many concessions are awarded to the senior citizens.</p>
<ol>
<li>Train and plane tickets are cheaper.</li>
<li>You shall always be offered seats in a public place.</li>
<li>You can conveniently afford to forget birthdays,anniversaries &#8230;.blame it on senile dementia. So you can forget to give gifts.</li>
<li>Your birthdays will be celebrated with great pomp and show.</li>
<li>Dress up a little and post your picture on social media sites. You will surely receive more than 100 likes, leave aside the compliments.</li>
<li>Go for a morning walk,control your diabetes, and you will always be complimented on being so well maintained.</li>
<li>Write a blog and you will always be a successful blogger, for very few of your age manage to do it.</li>
<li>You shall receive innumerable gifts, as now you even have grandchildren.</li>
<li>You can relax and enjoy all family events secretly sipping your wine, as you are too old to do anything else.</li>
<li>Sleeping during the day is a luxury you can indulge in, as you have insomnia.</li>
<li>Can say no to sex anytime you are not in a mood&#8230;after all your age doesn&#8217;t allow it!</li>
<li>You can ogle at the younger lot without suspicion&#8230;.maybe he /she reminds you of your granddaughter/grandson.(you can hug them too.)</li>
</ol>
<p>So I think aching bones, wrinkles, dementia and insomnia are a very small price to pay for all the great benefits listed above.</p>
<p>What say!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>HAPPY OLD AGE</strong></em></p>
