ageing as exile?
This blog explores the intersection of aging, creativity, purpose, transition, learning and well-being. It is edited by Steve Dahlberg.
"Exile is the cradle of nationality," according to Michael Higgins, Ireland's former minister of arts, culture and the Gaeltacht. We should "presuppose a sort of dialogue among exiles" who are together in a new place. Viewing ageing as "exile" offers a new (and positive) perspective about exile and ageing - one that can lead to older people better understanding their common "nationality" of what it means to be fully human - to be part of a greater whole.

"Ageing is a privilege and a societal achievement. It is also a challenge, which will impact on all aspects of the 21st century society."
- World Health Organization
"This is the true joy in life - the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."
- George Bernard Shaw
