Young people enjoy life more than older people do? I think elderly people can enjoy life as much as young people do. There is a couple of reasons for this belief and I will detail this in the next paragraphs. First, there is a common false belief that elderly people are too old to start learning new things, such as a foreign language, how to play a musical instrument or even applying for a graduation course. But it is untrue, since an elderly people are capable and they can get enough motivation to do it as well as a young adult. As an example, one of the biggest linguists nowadays, Steven Koffmann, is 70 years old. He is fluent in about 17 different languages and he does not think about stop doing it because of his age. Despite the fact that a lot of people think that elderly people can't start a new family if they were not able to find a partner, there are people outside to show that is completely wrong. Men and women can find love in any age. My grandmother, for example, is 85 years old and she has a boyfriend. They are so in love with each other and there are people that think they are looking like teenagers, just because for them everything is like it is the first time. They even think to adopt a baby next year and start a new happy family. Finally, because of the retirement, elderly people have more time to do things such as travelling. We usually think they cannot do it because they are not strong or healthy to travel, which is not right. Of course, for some elderly people it is hard to move around like a 20-year-old, but they can choose places to visit that is more attractive to them, maybe it can be a resort - it depends of the person. The parents of a friend of mine are from the Netherlands and now they are retired, they are travelling to different countries by the sea, with their boat, for one year. It is an incredible adventure that they planned there whole life and now it is the right moment, because they have time enough to do it. As we can see, life doesn't need to be boring when you are elderly. On the contrary - life can be extremely excited and happy, more than ever.
