People, whether they admit or not, do not like the idea of getting old. Women find it revolting when they discover a wrinkle or when men find a strand of gray hair. But these are actually just normal biological effects of ageing. Other people just interpret these changes in a different way. They immediately associate these signs of ageing to being ugly or even death. For some people ageing is like looking at a danger flag waving from afar, but this should not be the case, age is just a number and being old is just a state of mind.

People even created this story of a legendary spring they called the fountain of youth. Since the 16th century people believe that the water coming from this spring can restore youthfulness, that is why people all over the world continuously searched for this magical water for years. People before are like seeing racing flags every time they hear about a news regarding the spring, they do everything to be the first to find the mysterious spring, but those were just stories, stories that some people made into reality because of their thirst for immortality.

So what is it really about ageing that most people are afraid of? It is really about people's fear of death and what happens after? Or is it the twisted belief of how people define beauty that for one to be considered beautiful one should look youthful and vibrant. Or maybe it is just what the society dictates, that for people to feel good they also have to look good. Unfortunately, this is still true until now. People though just metaphorically speaking are still in search for the elusive fountain of youth.
