Afraid of getting old

Random things pop up in life ... and on Facebook. Today on Bored Panda (a source of much procrastination) an entry appeared with the title 'Illustrator turns people's deepest and darkest fears into comics'. It is drawn by a guy called Fran Krause and available for perusal on his Tumblr. The one that really struck me as poignant amongst the silliness was this one. It says something quite existential about how we as humans feel about getting and being old. Old age is something unknown and unknowable by the young, and they fear it, seeing it as something terrible. It is somehow reassuring to find that as you approach, it doesn't seem half so bad as you feared.
