McCoy thanks for your well thought out response! How old would you be if you did not know how old you are?
Just remember this...Today is the day that was tomorrow yesterday. And tomorrow is the day you may think your getting older by the day.
Steve, I liked the 'old soul' post. I wonder if the expression 'decrepit soul' would sound like ameliorative or pejorative in that context!

3# You’re spiritually inclined
Old Souls tend to have sensitive and spiritual natures. Experiencing a spiritual awakening, overcoming the confines of the ego, seeking enlightenment and self-realization, and fostering love and peace are often at the core of the Old Soul’s ultimate quest in life.
4# You understand the transience of life
Old Souls are frequently plagued with reminders of their own mortality and that of everything and everyone around them. In fact, it’s not uncommon for the old soul to have multiple existential crises throughout life, especially during difficult situations that highlight the impermanence of existence. Being very perceptive and sensitive toward the reality of death, old souls choose to live their lives differently. Every decision counts.
.....I would say the body has little relation to the awakening within the bodies garnet . In this sense a decrepit soul can be ameliorative.... since the reminders of their own mortality in an old soul may bring an existential crises, instigating the souls progress and self realization.
