Essay on who enjoys life more, the young or the old
by Jesus De Luna
Life is full of special and unforgettable things, which make it beautiful. Do all people, regardless
of their age, enjoy these things equally? Sadly, age is an important factor on this matter. Young people can get all the benefits that life offers, hence they do enjoy life more. Not only do the young have better health and more energy than the elderly, but they also have more people by their side. In addition, young people experience the diverse pleasures of life for the first time, which increases the power of these feelings.
The young have better health than the elderly. One of the main goals in any person’s life is to
acquire and maintain good health. Unlike the elderly, the young do not need to struggle too much to lead a healthy life. Moreover, young people are less likely to suffer from some diseases that affect the elderly at a higher rate. People in their twenties are the epitome of an energetic human being. The elderly on the other hand, have less vigor as their age increases.
Young people are still forming their convoy, so they tend to have more people present in their lives. The elderly, on the other hand, have lost friends and relatives due to the test of time and life’s tragedies. The elderly tend to be lonelier than the young adults because of this. Furthermore, the elderly suffer more pain than the youth because of this loss.
Perhaps the most significant reason is that young people experience the most beautiful things in life for the first time. Each moment that is experienced by our brain for the very first time is considered to have more impact on us than those that would follow. Our first time going to the movies, first time in a country, first pet, first kiss, first husband or wife… These and many other things are what make life beautiful. Young people can discover these special moments as they age, yet the elderly have already experienced most of these things so the first time can not be reproduced.
Many make life the most beautiful and precious thing there is around. Young people can explore life to its full potential because they have energy, health and more people in their lives--things that older people may have less of. Only young adults also can experience and discover life for the first time, unlike the older ones who already have.
