Nobody enjoys growing old. We normally fear our own aging and
generally do not love old people -- they remind us that death is
inescapable, the body frail, and social status transitory. In
Loving Later Life Frits de Lange shows how an ethics of love can
acknowledge and overcome the fear of aging and change our attitude
toward the elderly. De Lange reframes the biblical love command
this way: "We must care for the aging other as we care for our own
aging selves." We can encourage positive self-love by embracing
life as we age, taking good care of our own aging bodies, staying
good friends with ourselves, and valuing the last season of life.
When we cultivate this kind of self-love, we are released from our
aversion to growing old and set free to care about others who are
aging -- our parents, our relatives, and others in their final
season of life.
