"Do not cast us away into old age."
Nobody wants to get old.
Rabbi Sidney Greenberg made a comment on this verse that when a person visits a friend in the hospital they may remark, "Boy, has she aged!"
Even though the patient may look bedraggled Greenberg warns us to to slot people into the old age category based on how we look. Such thinking brings us lower than we already feel.
Our words have a dramatic effect.
