Therefore, as you grow older you become more bitter and jealous of those who are younger than you.

]]> 2015-09-25 09:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/t6wec0ueo1om/wish/72116931 Alternative Interpretation https://padlet.com/clareswhere/t6wec0ueo1om/wish/72299218 You can argue that it's not only jealousy that is present but also sympathy.

The older women have already been through this transition and understands what is to come of her beauty.

The tone used is not one that is sharp and criticising but quite soft and dreamy.
