Is age actually JUST a number?

The reason I ask this is that I dont get the whole age thing at all. For example time is a human invention so technically I am 21 because some guy who invented the calander says I am.

But im thinking from a more natural view point, what I believe is that each person is an individual and we all age individually. We all seen it at school there was the kid who was 6ft, with a beard and could get into nightclubs. And there was the 4ft5 weedy kid who looked 4 years younger than everyone else. These people are called 'late developers' etc or sometimes people can be described as having mental issues. But IMO they are just aging slower than people around them, look at trees they dont grow at exactly the same rate. EVERYTHING is individual and more people need to realise that.

Yes your right its called a biological age, everyone ages differently

But if your 21 doesnt that mean that youve traveled around the sun 21 times?

i understand where you are going with this...and think in a simillar way.

i have come to believe that it comes down to mental age...not so much the physical appearance

I think the age of your soul matters more than anything.

I'm a mature soul..

Good post Can I add another question to your thread please..

If I die at 50 and pass my heart on to a twelve year old and then they go on to eighty could they pass my heart on or does a heart have a shelf life or any other organ for same example ?

Im thirty soon and still get IDd for everything but i don't really follow time too closely maybe thats the trick and following time stresses you?

YEs ive travelled round the sun 21 times but how would that affect me in a physical/mental way?

ORgans will have shelf life yea, because the inside ages aswell. The heart is a muscle that is constantly working and eventually will give up. But what you could ask is if you lived to 80 then impanted the organs (heart, lungs, liver etc (maybe not the brain lol)) of a 20 year old, would that extend your life for another 70 years?

I think stressing things will age you, im generally laid back person but equally I can get very stressed out in short bursts. But maybe in people like athletes with their constant training the strain they put on their heart may not be as good for it as people think?

lol. yes i suppose, so we are all just space travellers.

op, we all age differently, but i think it is mostly to do with how well you look after yourself, just look at charlie sheen he is only 45 but walks around like an old man

No, they all eventually begin to break down due to age, quite a lot of them at different rates though

Very good observation. Time doesn't exist.... clocks exist.

You are as young as you keep you body's vibration. You are a piece of God, you are the creator. What are you going to create about yourself?

you are absolutely right from my view. we definitely age at different rates. a good mental note on living is , "Dont live your life by numbers." in the case of age it applies strongly to me.

this coming from the baby-faced, short senior who now is taller than most & im doin backflips & aerials around others my age who have fat guts & a second kid on the way. some are destined from the start
