Majority of people thinks that getting old sucks, because their bodies no longer get to do certain things that it allowed when they were younger. Not just because of what it those to the body but also to the mind, physical nature, assistance they get, amongst others. The knowledge that they can't live on their own and need to depend on someone to get thing done, like - moving around, going for walks, feeding, caring for themselves - drives them crazy, making them wish that they can just get over with it and die.
You have to understand that this is the law of nature - we are born, we are expected to live till we get old, and eventually we die; For every created thing has an expiring date when it would no longer exist, you just have to deal with it.
For you that says being old sucks, have you thought about these things - those that would give everything just to reach old age, your loved ones (family, friends, and well wishers) and how they would want you to be around them, those dreams you wished to have achieved, those memories you wished to share to your children and grandchildren (if you have one) etc.
Getting old is not just a gift but a blessing; a blessing that you will be able to live longer to achieve things, a blessing that those who died young will crave to have, a blessing that allows memories to be shared, a blessing that you get to spend more time with loved ones, a blessing that you get to have more fun.
It is a blessing and gifts to grow old, you should appreciate it and make the most out of it, because there are others who would have wanted to live up to that age, you so despise.
