Seems to me that the "Oil of Olay" version of aging (e.g. age is
a state of mind, it can be controled, aging is an enemy) is bound
to a psychological reductionism (you are only as old as you feel
after all). Getting in the way of all this perspectival bliss are graveyards.
The phenomenologically inclined (Bergson, Schutz, Berger and Luckmann) may
have a point when they take "duration", "death" and "time" as
indicators of the paramount reality to which we return.
