We should never stop learning or doing, no matter how old we get. The bible contains example after example of people in their advanced years being the ones to have the greatest impact in the stories, on those around them, and on those yet to be born. Why would God show us so many examples like that if He thought that the elderly should be put out to pasture? Shouldn’t we therefore infer that God wants older people to be active and productive—and to be respected when they are?
