不是时间的流逝使得变老如此艰难。是年龄歧视，这是一种让我们与未来的自己－－ 以及和其他人陷入冲突的一种偏见。Ashton Applewhite呼吁我们消除对变老的恐惧，加入到对这种社会偏见的挑战中。“变老不是一个需要被修复的问题或是需要被治愈的疾病，”她说，“它是一个自然的，强大的，将我们所有人连结在一起的生命过程。”

让我们终止年龄歧视

The real challenge of getting older is not physical decline but the prejudice society holds against aging. Only four percent of older Americans live in nursing homes, and dementia rates are dropping, yet anxiety about aging persists because of negative stereotypes. Ageism shapes culture, language, and even health, making natural changes feel shameful. Rejecting these biases can open the way to more meaningful and positive lives as people age.
