Does the soul age?

ADNAN OKTAR: Let’s hear another question.

KARTAL GÖKTAN: Mr. Yusuf has a question.

VTR: Hello, I am Yusuf. I meet with many elderly people and I want to ask about how we should treat the elderly?

ADNAN OKTAR: There is no such thing as elderly. There are only people whose organs are not in their best physical condition. For example, they cannot run or lift weight well. Or they have difficulty speaking or hearing. Otherwise, there is no such thing as elderly. The soul does not have an age. It does not age at all. Soul is eternal, so why would it age? It lasts eons without aging. It is the body that ages. Young people, too, can be physically older than their actual age. For this reason, it would be more proper to ask how one should treat people with diminished physical functions. For example, if they walk too slowly to cross the street, we can escort them. Such people might be in their seventeen or seventies or eighties; it does not make any difference. Or they might have sight, hearing or perceptive impediments. This can be a teenager in his nineteen or a man in his nineties. And since we are relatively healthier then such people, we should help them as best as we can. Otherwise, the elderly do not enjoy a distinguished status; everyone deserves the same level of respect. We are obliged to treat people with the same level of respect and politeness, be they in their nineteen or nineties. What matters is whether they need our help or not.
