Scared of growing old – living in the moment For those who are scared of growing old and death, what would be a well thought out response be? My first thoughts on it would be, if you learn to meditate, you are going to enjoy your old age, and you will never fear death. But that is not an answer that will go down well with many people. So this is a question that cries out for a mature, seasoned response?
A good response is one of good demonstrative right intention(or action). 

Then they might inquire further  and if so, maybe tell them about some fundamental Dhamma.
