Picture elder years?

How do we picture elder years? If we reflect on the television ads for investment and life insurance companies, we see images of sailboats, golfing, and travel. These reveal a deep-seated mythos: the life of the elder grows larger.

These images are, like photographic negatives, reversed. Truly elders are concerned not as much with the world they take in, as with the world they expand for the grandchildren.
