Life asks us to mourn each passing incarnation of the self
From Mari Ruti’s The Call of Character pg 150:
In other words, if it is sometimes hard to discard the past because the pain of this past haunts our present, it can also be hard to give up a past that has been particularly rewarding; it can be hard to surrender what has brought a great deal of satisfaction. Yet if we are to give fresh editions of ourselves a chance, we must find a way of doing so. Life asks us to mourn each passing incarnation of the self. This amounts to a lifetime of mourning. There will always be regrets and misgivings. We tend to get nostalgic about parts of our past that made us happy. And we tend to grieve the loss of certain opportunities: we lament having made this choice rather than that, of having taken this turn rather than that. But most of all, we mourn those aspects of ourselves that we are forced to renounce because they have become redundant. Sometimes our mourning is so intense that we cannot bring it to a timely conclusion but instead form melancholy attachments to dimensions of ourselves that are largely obsolete.
I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
[....]
Though I lack the art to decipher it,
no doubt the next chapter
in my book of transformations
is already written.
I am not done with my changes.

I explore the psychological necessity of routine and domestic labour for the elderly as a means of maintaining dignity and purpose through repetitive tasks that serve as vital frameworks that hold a person’s identity together.

Key themes:• The Population Rectangle: How modern sanitation, pharmacology, and nutrition have shifted the human population from a "pyramid" of many young and few old to a "rectangle" where the majority of people survive to advanced age.
• Primary vs. Secondary Aging: Understanding the difference between universal biological wear and tear (primary) and the damage caused by lifestyle choices and environmental exposures (secondary).

Maximizing Your Health Span
In this deep-dive exploration of gerontology and demographic history, we unpack the critical difference between life expectancy (a statistical average) and maximum lifespan (the biological limit of the human machine). -
2/
In this episode, we compare ancient perspectives on aging with the unprecedented global demographic shifts happening today. Using Nancy A. Pachana’s Aging: A Very Short Introduction as our guide, we will dissect how the hardware for a long life has always been in our DNA and how the lifestyle choices you make today directly dictate your long-term health span. -

The "Peak Child" Phenomenon: We have effectively reached "Peak Child," where the absolute number of young children has plateaued, while the "silver" demographic continues to climb rapidly due to increased longevity and falling fertility rates worldwide. -
Update:
That "demographic watershed" actually happened in 2018.According to the United Nations and the World Bank, 2018 was the first year in human history that the number of people aged 65 and older surpassed the number of children under 5.
The Trend: By 2050, the number of people over 65 is projected to be more than double the number of children under 5.

My Favourite Cake: Bittersweet Tale of Growing Old 🍰
My Favourite Cake (کیک محبوب م) is an intriguing Iranian film, co-written and directed by Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha. It’s a film for older generations, made by people from a younger generation.
It follows the life of 70-year-old Mahinn (Lily Farhadpour) who lives in Tehran. In a bittersweet brief burst of fun, she meets a man who makes her feel alive again and the story goes from there.
Themes of Joy and Oppression in My Favourite Cake
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN-hEYwqqZg?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]There’s a simple plot here that plays out over 97 minutes. In a nation where women’s rights are restricted, and widowed for 30 years, Mahin decides to live out a few desires in her old age.
She’s inspired after seeing an incident where police officers arrest some young women due to their dress sense and hair.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arod3O7fI8c?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]She then meets up with some friends for a tea party, which inspires her to go off and have a bit of fun. She heads out into Tehran and meets mild-mannered taxi driver Faramarz (Esmail Mehrabi).
Although nervous, she invites him back to her home and they have a few drinks and spend an evening discussing the past.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiUSlj_GvEM?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]Tipsy and having a laugh, they put on some banging beats and indulge in a rave. In a scene that highlights the quietly subversive nature of the film, alongside its good natured lust for life.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f028sM1bmFU?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]What happens next we won’t mention as it’s a big spoiler. But My Favourite Cake is, ultimately, a bittersweet tale of sadness, loss, and finding happiness in occasional moments.
Its sedate pace and message is suited more for older viewers, as it doesn’t offer an edgy or punchy take on ageing. It’s more an acceptance of the realities with comedic flourishes and those sad moments, too. Great viewing, then, and we think many people would learn a great deal from it.
The Production of My Favourite Cake
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXjhPsk2pEQ?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=723&h=407]Unfortunately, the Iranian government took action against the directors from September 2023 onward. This included having their passports confiscated, being threatened with criminal charges, and their homes being raided.
This meant the directors couldn’t travel to some events to promote their film. Including at its premier at the Berlin International Film Festival. Unfortunately, this has continued through to December 2024 with the directors placed on trial for making a “vulgar” movie. Just ridiculous given the film’s sweet-natured themes.
The two lead actors were able to attend the film’s premiere, with Lily Farhadpour noting:
“Favourite Cake is a film made in praise of life. This is a story based on the reality of the everyday lives of middle-class women in Iran, a close look at a woman’s solitude as she enters her golden years. A vision of the reality of women’s lives which has not often been told. It is a story that is contrary to the common image of Iranian women, and similar to the life stories of many lonely people on this planet, about savouring the short, sweet moments in life.”
The film met with critical acclaim and won a bunch of European film festival awards, including the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the Berlin Film Festival.

👆When nearly 78% of #Singapore's #population live in #public #housing, this statement may appear to be superfluous, perhaps even self-serving?🧐
