Marieta Severo, the great fear of old age is not physical appearance, but losing interest in learning new things and ceasing to be curious.
Normally, some people want to stay forever young and never grow old. That is also a direct influence of television culture and commercials that advocate the long-awaited "eternal youth."
However, from time to time some opinions try to demolish certain myths and make people understand that aging is something normal in human beings, that it is part of life, and that you have to know how to accept it.
Marieta Severo, a well-known Brazilian theater and television actress, addressed this problem in an interview she was given from a medium in her country, called Marie Claire.
According to information from Osegredo, the 75-year-old artist took the time to talk about the prejudice that exists against older adults and the intolerance that they sometimes suffer from younger populations, both in their family life and in Public spaces.
For Marieta, the important thing is not age or old age, but the functioning of the mind and heart. “Young people, look less in the mirror. The great panic is not wrinkled. Said the actress.
In addition, she added that when she was younger, no one talked about this prejudice that older adults suffered. She even thought that it was more and more frequent to see that when a person reached a certain age he lost her place in society and was immediately rejected by it.
The actress made it clear that the important thing was not to worry about getting old, but to stop feeling alive, that is, to lose the curiosity that drives a person and the desire to learn new things. For her, if someone leaves that spirit, then they are dead in life.
Panic is not wrinkles, but the loss of interest in discovering new experiences and stopping thinking.
Marieta said that she takes care of her face and her body with creams and beauty products, but that it is not something central to her life. The artist added that the important thing is to never stop thinking and feel that your life is stagnant.
According to her, society must abandon this "cruel" behavior of only worrying about the physical and build a future where children stop being raised with the "red carpet" culture.
