Question

From Seneca's "On Old Age"

Why should we cherish and love old age?

a.	"Each pleasure reserves to the end the greatest delights which it contains."

b.	"For it is full of pleasure if one knows how to use it"

c.	"All of the above" - all answers are correct

d.	"Youth is most charming at its close"

Answer 1

• ANSWER-All are correct
• “Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure if one knows how to use it. Fruits are most welcome when almost over; youth is most charming at its close; the last drink delights the toper, the glass which souses him and puts the finishing touch on his drunkenness. Each pleasure reserves to the end the greatest delights which it contains. Life is most delightful when it is on the downward slope, but has not yet reached the abrupt decline.”
