Join the Fun!

As you will see on this list, older people are the best. With age comes wisdom, and apparently for a lot of people, with age also comes happiness. According to one study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, the older we get, the better our mental health becomes. Rates of depression, anxiety, and stress were highest among participants in their 20s and 30s, and the oldest participants reported the highest levels of happiness, satisfaction and wellbeing.

The study’s author, Dr. Dilip Jeste, a geriatric psychiatrist and directors of the Center on Healthy Aging at the University of California, San Diego, says that when we’re young, “There is constant peer pressure: you’re looking at others and always feeling bad that you’re not succeeding like some of them, and you feel like you have lots of choices but you’re not really making use of them.” But as we get older, perhaps we just stop worrying about that. The pressure is off, and we finally get to simply enjoy our lives.

Many of the individuals featured on this list are clearly making the most of their senior years. And while there is sometimes a stereotype that our youngest years are our prime time, that does not have to be true. Our retired years can be a great time to see the world, experiment with hobbies we haven’t had the time to nurture in recent years, socialize and spend time with our families. They can also be a great time to stop caring about what anybody else thinks.

While young people are often plagued with feeling pressure fit in, older individuals are likely to just accept who they are. They have realized that the opinions of others don’t matter, and they have learned how to embrace their true selves. Sure, ideally we would all come to that conclusion at a young age, but sometimes it can be hard to realize until we’ve been around the block for a few years. Then we can spend our final decades enjoying life and doing whatever we like without any fear of embarrassment or judgment from others.

Uncle David (Uncle Bear Bear) on the left recently died after a long illness. They were together for decades, always dressing like twins. Uncle David on the right sings beautifully and is a loving and kind gentleman working through his grief. They have lots of ducks and chickens and call all their followers niblings, as in nieces and nephews. You can find Uncle David on IG.

To gain some insight on why senior citizens are so special and must be cherished, we reached out to William Zee, one of the creators of We Love Our Granny, a site dedicated to seniors of every age. First, we asked William what inspired him to create the site. “We started weloveourgranny.com when our own mother became quite elderly,” he told Bored Panda. “As we searched for products and services that would help the very elderly live more comfortably, and, with a higher life enjoyment, we found there were literally tens of thousands of Americans who were in their twilight years who weren’t really enjoying life at all anymore.”

“This greatly saddened us,” William continued. “These are the people who devoted their lives to giving all of us a good life. Our goal? We wanted to see what we could do, in any small way, to increase the well being of other elderly seniors. In very short order, we found, as a society, we generally do put seniors ‘out to pasture’. Even the young and vital ones.”

“Our goal soon became: Finding ways to make senior life happier and more fulfilling,” William explained. “Regardless of how old we may be. 60 or 100. We’re happy to report: From the wonderful emails we receive, we are making a difference.”

We then asked William why older individuals are so special. “The biggest asset we have as older people is experience,” he shared. “And, with decades of experience we usually acquire a very special gift: Much Greater Compassion. Except for the outright cranky ones (who may be suffering deep physical or mental pain), have you ever noticed that seniors smile at you more? Criticize you less? Have time for you? Listen to you more? Argue with you less? Praise your deeds (no matter how small) more. And, if whenever you’ve taken time to really sit and talk with seniors, have you noticed all the wonderful stories they have? This is why older people are so special.”

We also asked William if people often underestimate or don’t pay enough attention to senior citizens. “Definitely,” he told Bored Panda. “We are a youth oriented society, where youthful looks mean almost everything. So, as we age, we get less and less attention. Not because of who we’ve become, but because of how we look.”

“A very famous woman, whose name I unfortunately can not remember as I write this, once stated: ‘As a woman becomes older, she becomes invisible. Her youthful looks have gone, and most men will not even notice her. Old age is a very lonely place for a woman.’ What a tragic loss for those men.”

“We think women, even more than men, just get more beautiful with age,” William told Bored Panda. “It’s true. Laugh at me if you will. But, just take a moment and look in an older woman’s eyes. Look at how deeply she can see you. Look at all the love those eyes give you. The caring. The understanding. The support. Notice their tender and soft touch. And, also notice how they are asking you for nothing other than the time you are giving them. Young women, and men, are generally green fruit.”

When it comes to the best things William has learned from older family members throughout his life and from his own experiences, he shared, “At first life looks like an eternity. But, it passes in an instant. Whenever you can, without hurting others, do whatever makes you happy. No one on their death bed ever said, ‘I wish I had spent more time at the office.’ Be kind. To everyone. And, practice random acts of kindness.”

We also asked William if there were any misconceptions about older people that he wanted to dispel. “I have found that the greatest misconception most people have about elderly people is that they are finished living. Really enjoying life with others and doing things,” he shared. “I have found that as long as an elderly person has a clear mind and at least a somewhat able body, they want to enjoy each new day as much as anyone else,” William says. “In fact they usually look forward to each adventure even more because they usually are too well aware that there may not be that many left.”

“Did you know: They still want to dance? Even from a wheelchair? A movie out is still worth dressing up for? A dinner, or lunch out never gets tiring? Time in the park by a pond or lake is still Heavenly? Conversations with a bottle of wine, or as my friend Jack preferred, a gin and tonic, are always welcome? Did you know the queen even enjoyed more than one cocktail a day?”

“He was very wealthy. He lived in a mansion in an exclusive neighborhood where I enjoyed taking my dog for walks,” William continued. “That was how we met. I lived in a tiny apartment at the time. He made no distinction. He adored my dog. He treated me like we were brothers. I could stop by his home any day at any time. His big charismatic smile was always there when I arrived. And, he was always happy to see me, share the contents of his wine cellar, hear whatever news I would bring, and tell me wonderful stories from his first home in Paris. My dear friend Christian still had a real zest for living!”

I started this for my niece when she was born. She has many special needs and this ended up being a chronicle of the first 4 years of life. Her mom had no idea, It was full of stories about our adventures in the hospital together and had lots of little mementos from her stays in it. I had planned to keep it going until her 13th birthday, but relented and gave it to my sister when she was 5. It really meant a lot to her to have those memories and caught her completely by surprise.

I’m a “one-man orchestra” both in life and here at Bored Panda, even though my title is a visual editor. After finishing my Creative Industries studies with the BA in Communication, I explored the city driving a cab and created many t-shirt designs working as a graphic designer, right before my career took off at Bored Panda office back in 2017. Since then I’m dedicated to find the best pictures of funny and adorable animals for the articles I make, though I especially love supplying readers with tattoo designs. P.S. Tell your dog Akvile said hi!

I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics. I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

Here's one of my favorite stories about my grandmama. When my Mum was little, girls couldn't wear pants to school, they had to wear skirts. Well, one freezing cold winter morning, my grandmama looked outside at the snow and said, "You're wearing pants." Off to school my mum and her 3 bros go. School sends my mum home, crying. My grandmama couldn't drive, so she marched my mum back to school, went to the principal's office and tore him a new one. From then on, my mum could wear pants whenever she goddamn pleased.

i miss my opa…. i never learned what an amazing person he was until after he died, and i wish i could’ve spent more time with him, but he died when i was 10. i only learned about a month ago that when he was a teen, he saved for so long and bought himself a brand new pontiac gto, which he was so proud of. then his mother and brother became homeless and he sold his most prized possession, his car, to buy them food and other necessities. he was 19. when he was alive i knew none of this, he just seemed like a quiet, somewhat sarcastic guy who loved making jam.

I kind of object to calling old people "cute." Seems condescending. These are full grown bloody adults who have lived longer than you and I. They have experienced all the same life milestones we are going through. They're not like these "cute" people who don't "get it" so isn't it cute. I feel like we don't treat the elderly with the respect they deserve.

This has bothered me for years! It seems so condescending and belittling. Someone told me that my parents, who were both in their 90s and married for over 65 years, were "cute" and and I said, "No. They are many, many different things: inspiring, admirable, fascinating, resilient... but not cute." I wonder if people do this because thinking of being that old makes them uneasy.

I am so jealous of all of these (in a good way) I'm 52, my husband is 54, and we have 2 daughters that are 20 & 23. Both me and my husband's parents and grandparents have been deceased for a long time, so neither my husband and I or our daughters have had any grandparents.

Usually there's a bit of a drop in quality after the cut, or as you near entry 100. But every single one of these was worth my time and made my day so much better.

Making me miss my granny in Egypt so much. She lived here in the states for 30+ years and helped raise me. She is my best friend. Although she has been declining she remembered me when I visited her in Cairo in July. We shared a lot of laughs and memories. I love her so much ❤️

God, I wish I could hug my grandma and grandpa right now! The passed on 16 and 22 years ago respectively and I still miss them both so much. I was a teenager when they died, part of me has always felt a little cheated for that. So many people have their grandparents in their lives for decades and decades. If you're one of those people and you have a good relationship with them, get in touch with them just to remind them how much they mean to you. Better yet, write a letter! They would likely LOVE that!

My cousin wrote my Nan a letter (she practically brought my cousin up, her mother had poor mental health, not recognized in the 1960s). My Nan kept the letter in her handbag and would show it to anyone.

My mothers dad died on her parents 5th wedding anniversary in a factory explosion. He wasn't supposed to work that day but did. And he was working through lunch to leave early. That's when it blew up. 1945. My mom was 5. I also don't know on my dads side when his dad passed away either. I had one mean grandma on dads side. Stubborn and judgey. Moms mom we called nanny. She taught me to sew and cook and would take care of my younger sister and me and even lived with us for a while. I miss her everyday. We all should be happy to grow old and watch the next generation evolve. I don't have kids. Only nieces and nephews. No one visits me or calls to check in. But I do still love them. Mom is 82 now and I do what I can while my sister works from home w her still in the house. My brother brought his granddaughter over to visit her this week an she was happy.

I have nieces and nephews and goddaughters. Thank goodness for WhatsApp. They don't visit much, but I know that if I called, they would come. Which is all that matters. They are a source of joy. My parents are 86, dad has Alzheimer's, but not too bad so far. Love and best wishes to you Mad

I keep thinking that I would love to have a chance to visit my grandmothers one more time as an adult. They both died when I was in my late teens. I was going through my most callous stage of life and I feel like I was insensitive to them as they aged and needed me more. Truth was I was scared. I miss them both and hope they'd be happy with me as an adult.

My grandparents have all been gone for a while now, the last one at 93, about 12 or so years ago. Youngest dies in his late 60s, the other 3 were all in their 90s, one on her 92st birthday. I miss them very much

I found this article extremely offensive. To label older people as "cute" and "adorable" is to minimize their importance and dismiss them as functioning adults. Hey, children are cute and adorable, but we don't take their opinions on politics and religion--or anything else--seriously, do we? And Black people are born with a sense of rhythm, right? And lesbians pretend that one is the man and one is the woman--and so on and on. If you're going to practice prejudice, might as well go all the way.
