remind us of our own death, that our body wont always

remain smooth and responsive, but will someday betray

us by aging. The ideal way to age would be to grow

slowly invisible, gradually disappearing, without

causing worry or discomfort to the young. In some ways

that does happen. Sitting in a small park across from a

nursing home one day, I noticed that the young mothers

and their children gathered on one side, and the old

people from the home on the other. Whenever a youngster

would run over to the wrong side, chasing a ball or

just trying to cover all the available space, the old

people would lean forward and smile. But before any

communication could be established, the mother would

come over, murmuring embarrassed apologies, and take

her child back to the young side.

　　Now,it seemed to me that the children didnt feel

any particular fear and the old people didnt seem to

be threatened by the children. The division of space

was drawn by the mothers. And the mothers never looked

at the old people who lined the other side of the park.

These well- dressed young women had a way of sliding

their eyes over, around, through the old people; they

never looked at them directly. The old people may as

well have been invisible; they offend the aesthetic eye

of the mothers.

　　My early experiences were somewhat different; since

I grew up in a small town, my childhood had more of a

nineteenth-century flavor. I knew a lot of old people,

and considered some ofthem friends.

　　66. People are afraid of growing old because it is

usually associated with ___________.
