Change is difficult
I completely agree to the fact that it is very difficult for people above forty, and especially above fifty to change their lifestyle. I think as we grow older we tend to close ourselves towards learning; therefore we are less able to change, even if it’s beneficial for us.
This scenario can also be applied to global warming or climate change. The majority of people who are mindful or are adjusting their lifestyle to save the planet and to reduce their carbon footprint are mostly below fifty, in fact the higher the age the lesser the willingness to change.
It’s true that a major lifestyle change is needed to adjust to the current global crisis, but just because you will not be there when the crisis will hit the earth does not give you the right to act ignorantly. Anyways I know that this is an issue that can never be resolved, since it has more to do with human psyche. To look at it in a rational manner its easier for a twenty year old to change than a fifty year old, simply because the twenty year old has to change his lifestyle which is just twenty years old, whereas imagine doing something for fifty or more years and then you suddenly have to stop doing it or change the way you do it; that’s kind of impossible.
Just to give you an example of what I am talking about. I recently bought an asics gel nimbus for my grandfather, as I felt his old shoes were too rough for him. He is some 76 years old. I was very proud about it, but guess what the next day I saw my grandfather go for walking wearing the same old shoes. When I enquired if he did not like those shoes, he said that he found them a bit too light.
