Listen

An old Jewish woman just turned ninety, became ill and called the doctor.  he examined her carefully and looked doubtful.

“Can you cure me, doctor?” the old woman asked hopefully.

“Dear Granny,” said the doctor soothingly.  “You know what happens when one gets older.  All sorts of ailments begin to happen.  After all, a doctor is not a miracle man.  He cannot make an old woman younger."

“Who’s asked you to make me younger, doctor?”  protested the old woman, irritably.  "What I want is to grow older!”

 

Listen.

Only then speak.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
