So many valid points you express to the point where I'm convinced I got at least some of this quite wrong. However, I guess my question would be why didn't my grandmother or great grandmother care whether she got wrinkles or looked older than her natural age? Why is plastic surgery and Botox used so prevalently if growing old gracefulky is what matters most? Why do people photoshop themselves into Casper the Ghost or use filters that make them look decades younger? Thank you for helping frame this topic more clearly!
