But sometimes it's a huge job to figure out exactly who we are. It seems to me that most older people are less concerned with social pressures than younger people, it's one of the benefits of aging.

Boomers thought they could ignore roles, but still got sucked into earning a living, raising a family, etc. I'm hoping as more people move away from those roles, they will allow themselves to explore who they are. Selfish. Abosolutely not. I have so much more to give if I'm coming from my strength and power, instead of a sense of obligation. I actually think that is the quest for retirement and third age.

I loved the story about the 88 year old woman, but how sad that she will probably die without finding her true self.
