A major thing to understand here is
the tear and wear that the body experiences as we advance in age.
the tear and wear that the body experiences as we advance in age.
A baby child that is newly born is
like an acquired new machine. A new machine is known to be in a perfect sound
condition. So it is with a newly born baby. With the passage of time, and as
the baby grows, there is deterioration in body functions. What we find is that
a person who could run a hundred metre race without panting can no longer do
so. A person could recollect and remember clearly what happened some moments or
years ago, can no longer do so. These are signs of tear and wear in our life.

Tear and wear in our life affect
individual ability to do what that person could hitherto do. They affect the
economic well being of the individual person, because, such a person cannot
longer fend for himself/herself adequately. By extension, ageing affects the
economy of a community, a local government, a state and the nation.
