Résumé

Les bahá’ís du monde entier considèrent ‘Abdu’l-Bahá non seulement comme le Centre de l’Alliance de Bahá’u’lláh, mais aussi comme l’exemple de la façon dont nous devrions vivre. Cependant, bien que les images et les récits de la vie de ‘Abdu’l-Bahá qui viennent à l’esprit de beaucoup d’entre nous soient celles de la période de sa vie qui a suivi sa libération de prison à l’âge de soixante-cinq ans, nous ne pensons pas souvent à lui comme étant un vieil homme. Dans cet article, l’auteure résume la nature et l’impact de l’âgisme et comment nous apprenons à vivre la vieillesse par la façon dont les gens nous traitent. Elle explore comment l’exemple de ‘Abdu’l-Bahá peut nous inspirer dans notre propre vie, compte tenu que l’âgisme est un phénomène plutôt répandu dans nos sociétés occidentales.
