Our Philosophy: Elders as the Jewels of Humanity
The philosophical perspective from which we, Senior New Ways, are
working is that elders are the jewels of humanity. We want to help our older
adults display their splendor and lead happier, healthier and more fulfilling
lives. Their lives have been polished by the trials and tribulations, joys and
successes of their many years, and now they have much precious wisdom
to be shared with the culture.
Though elders are not perfect and still have a few rough edges, they still
have lots to teach our communities. By "harvesting" the experiences of
older adults, by mining their gems, we endeavor to build a stronger culture,
based on the wisdom-sharing of the elders.
We also hope to encourage older adults to be aware of the life still left in
them. This involves a shift in perception of elders and the culture, to look
at the elder years as valuable and enjoyable. We hope elders will come
away from our programs and activities with the attitude, "There IS hope as I
grow older. I have moved beyond the negative images of aging so prevalent
in our culture, to positive images." We also endeavor to affirm and
augment the efforts of older adults in developing healthier lifestyles, and to
support those who give care to our older adults.
