ABSTRACT
Ageing, considered as being the chronometric art of life, needs researchers to acknowledge the vulnerability that is inherent in life which may increase as people live longer, although not in synchrony with their ages. To approach ageing from the perspective of a fundamental vulnerability of inter-human condition is to accept ageing with all its unknown possibilities, problems, and promises as an important part of human life. Ageing is basically the continuation of life beyond a number of years that indicates the ending of ‘normal adulthood.’ A re-actualization of the connection between wisdom and ageing requires paying more attention to the subtle ways in which experiences are processed as people grow older. Ageing gives an advantage over younger persons in what may be called ‘deeper layers of change. Ageing is living in time and calls for an appreciation of the intricate interconnections between the past, present, and projected future.
