不是時光流逝使衰老變得如此艱難，是年齡歧視。年齡歧視讓我們和未來的自己、他人針鋒相對。艾什頓·阿普洛懷特呼籲人們戰勝恐懼，行動起來，反對最後一種社會習以為常的偏見。她說：「衰老不是一個需要解決的問題，也不是一種需要治療的疾病。衰老是自然的、有力的、終身的進程，它將我們聯結在一起。」

讓我們一起終結年齡歧視

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.
