I am a die hard Law and order Criminal intent and SVU fan, if theres a marathon it doesnt matter if I've seen them already, I WILL see them again lol.
Recently the new Criminal Intent season has started and I realized something that says alot about our perception in today's world. Here's an interesting fact, in the new season Detective Goren is riddled with gray hair and his partner Eames has apparently discovered the fountain of youth with her perpetually dark blonde hair.
And this happens in many pictures, men with gray hair, seen as a sign as wisdom...woman with gray hair...shes losing her touch on reality. (I'm not saying my observations are correct but you get were I'm going with this.)
Ageing is something to be embraced by all genders, not to be covered up with the modern day technology of plastic surgery and hair dye. Gray hair says, I've been there, learnt what I needed to know and can move to other things.
I write this post because I, although I have nothing against plastic surgery, make up and the like, I believe they have a place in society and uses, but relying on these things to make you beautiful is not the way to go, ageing is not a disease, to be prescribed cosmetic surgery to fix, it should be embraced and revered.
Hope that when I get mature, I can tell a story for every gray hair in my head. :-)
Here's to positive people.
Love this! I read a quote not long ago that was something like, "don't regret growing older, it's a privlige denied to many."
