You would be whatever age you feel like. Regardless of the age number, it all depends on how you feel and your body feels. You can be 15 feeling like a 20 year old because you want to grow up but when some people are older they want to be younger. Even when you’re older you make foolish decisions so it won’t really matter what age you are. Due to the way you act and such you can tell yourself whatever age you want you want to be even if you didn’t know it.
To the second comment, that is true but doesn't being a certain age also help with the way you act? So, if you weren't to know your age...how would you act..?
One could either be of an age calculated using a measurement system or be no age at all. Unless people chose to identify themselves using a measurement of time, they would not identify as being a particular age.
Consider that clocks were created by humans around 5000 years ago, it was then that time began to determine the age of human beings. Had a structured system to measure time, and thus age, not been produced, individual societies could classify themselves as having either an age measured using an individualized system or no specific age entirely.
You would be as old as you feel or perhaps how old you may look. If you very very old then most likely you are very old. Also if you grew up with someone and you always looked the same age then you can figure out how old you are by their age. But if you are unaware of your true age it does not matter since it is nothing but a number. What ever age you are doesn’t define who you are as a person, thus it does not really matter if you are unaware of your age.
Age is particularly a number for each person. It doesn't really matter how old you are as long as you act appropriately according to your age. Even though you may not know how old you, at least you would estimate if you've been living in this society for a long period of time. What's really important is that as long as one enjoy life, it doesn't matter about the age and it's number itself.
You would be as old as you feel? tough call, i agree with Mai, age really isn't anything but a number put on us, experience and maturity is what really defines that aspect, not a number.
I wouldn't: see age is something that we humans have created if there was no age one would be judged by the skin and hair color. Age is something that tells us how old a person is but in now days it is rude to ask someone for their age unless it is for the right reason. So in today’s society people try to judge other people by facial hair, clothes skin, and all kind of weird stuff. For example i thought that Ricardo in our class was 20+ but he is only 17. I agree with Mai it’s not the age it’s everything else.
Age is a measurement of time. It is a measurement of how long you've been on the earth. Age is not related to your life experiences, so I don't believe you can ever truly know an unknowable age.
I think that if we didn't have the ability to measure ourselves by age, and behave a certain way according to our age, there would be something else to replace that and to put us into categories which tell us how to behave. For example, by using physical appearance, we would learn to behave according to what a teenager, adult or elderly person would behave as, and it would be normal to us. Possibly even your status, as in married, have kids, or single would then play a bigger role in the way people would behave, instead of behaving their age.
Even if there was no concrete measure of age set up, how long something has existed is a completely objective truth. You could feel like you were a mature man, or old enough to be a grandfather, or not old enough to have a family, but all of those things don't relate to the fact of how old you are. Even if we didn't a way of measuring time, there would still be a fixed amount of time that would have passed since one's birth. Perception can never change the facts.

ReplyDeleteTo the first comment, but how you know how old you ARE if you didn't know. Like as if there wasn't age...how would you know?

ReplyDeleteYou would be as old as you feel, so me personally i think i would be around 16 because i would feel like im still that age.
