ABSTRACT

The flow of life is a journey led by everyone. The life that starts with birth does not have a definite length to move on. Experience and advanced life-space in that context are akin to a spontaneously achieved ‘gift’ from life itself. A ‘counting-up’ strategy is consequently cultivated in terms of experiential treasures instead of a countdown perspective. The formula to positive ageing is inscribed by living in the present, with ‘senescence-identity wrath’ serving as an inner light to gero-transcendence. Cellular and organismal senescence is bound to occur in human beings following the principles of nature. Advanced age is the hallmark of attainment of advancement in all respects and regards. The quality of resilience that is observed in the matured aged is a ready model in life education. The aged person is a prolific source of guidance and advice treading the paths of life picking up its varied vicissitudes.
