Funny how the young people espousing this are never the ones to die young. Every single time in my life i have heard this innuendo from people, like "hey im not gonna be alive to get to 30 anyway" etc etc, it hasn't happened. I have even said it myself. It wasn't until I met a friend who talked about being excited to grow old, the positive aspects that come with it, that I challeneged this idea further.

Why do so many hate the thought of growing old, disrespect elders, and on and on. The anarchist world should be the opposite. Accepting of all ages and experiences. But I guess if you aren't dead by 24, you just aren't hardcore, and you haven't pushed anarchy further along like all the fallen.

I am really grateful for the older anarchists i have gotten to be around and talk to in life. Truely invaluable. Try listening and talking to an older anarchist once in a while.
