Article Title: Blessings of white hair
Article Summary
The article at hand is a compilation of the aging author’s enjoyable experiences with getting old, and at last, a shock. He thinks it is a pity old people hide their real age, as the advantages white hair confers on them could be numerous. He recounts his own experiences to offer proof of this claim. At airports, he receives chairs to sit on, assistance in handling luggage, too-convenient security checking. He receives special seats in his apartment building’s office, people pick up books he’s dropped, and he even receives special treatment when he goes to vote – he need not wait in a queue! He has thoroughly enjoyed all these experiences, enjoyed them a bit too much, in his opinion, which is why he gets a reminder for being humble soon – he is given no special treatment at his physiotherapist’s, and even treated rudely. However, he takes this sportingly, believing his special run had limits, after all.
