Listener (Teresa)

In the year preceding my 65th birthday, I was deluged by mailing advertisements informing me that I need to buy Medicare.

And the images accompanying these advertisements showed my peers or myself in a group of people who are white haired and retired and generally inactive.

And we would soon need devices like walkers and wheelchairs and canes.

So these images saturate the media.

And if we believe such images, it seems that those of us who are 65 or older have nothing left to give and are fragile and require a lot of care.

I strongly believe that such images are detrimental to my well-being and longevity.

What do you think?

Thanks.
