Nobody likes older people, even their own children. The reason is not old age, the reason is: once the magic of desire is gone they become rock – like. And once their own desire is gone, they become very jealous of others’ desire. And old person cannot tolerate you being in love. He’s always there with condemning eyes, because he says he knows it is all nonsense, because he says, “I have lived it and I know it is all futile.” This happens to old people, this happens to old countries too.

OBSERVE OLD PEOPLE - OLD COUNTRIES - OSHO
Have you not observed it? -- old people become unloving, nagging, always angry, rude, oppressing, always finding excuses to torture, condemn. What happens? The moment one becomes less sexual, juices start drying up. Once the magic of desire fades, people become desert- like. All their greenness is of their sexuality and sensuality, all their flowering is that of sex and nothing else. So once sex becomes less and less important, their greenery starts disappearing. They become non – communicative, they are always angry, and they are immersed in their egos.
