50 Times People Spotted Old People Being Wholesome And Shared It In This Online Group
Article Created by: Austen Akavickaite
There’s a subreddit called r/AdorableOldPeople and as you might guess, it shares screenshots and pictures of old people making the world a better place.
First of all, we are not huge fans of the name. As philosophy teacher Randall Horton pointed out in Huff Posteven people in their 50s like to think they are in their “young 50s” or that they look good “for their age.” As they get older, they become “a little more patient, more accepting, less doctrinaire, and, yes, sadder and wiser.” However, they do not think they become more adorable, precious, charming, or sweet. Attributing these words to older folks can send the wrong message. They might think we’re infantilizing them. So we won’t.
But the content of the subreddit is awesome. Whether we’re talking about teens or seniors, people can be jerks, so it’s always appropriate to celebrate the ones that aren’t. Continue scrolling and you will find a hand-picked collection of the most popular posts on the sub.
