“Age is a matter of number not a restriction” ~ Author.

Age cannot restrict us to do anything we want. We cannot be forced for something we don’t want to do….just because of age? Really? Age of one cannot be the factor that defines the abilities of a person. As an instance, we might have heard in our childhood that ‘young’ minds are imaginative, creative; children study and play. But…. As they grow, they are told that ‘you are too old to play now or you are killing your time in this’. “Age is not a limit to what we can achieve. It is just a number that marks the passage of time” . People should be treated on the basis of their abilities, strengths, qualities, habits. No one has the right to create a distinction on Age.

In clear words, age doesn’t matter in most conditions, but there are some places where we have restriction. And that restriction is precise for a specific reason. Places such as research centre and archaeological sites, age is a godsend gift for them. Which defines how really old an artefact is! And also, older people are considered as ‘more experienced’.  If 20 years back was the first chance, the second chance is now! It is our responsibility to end the ‘age discrimination’.
