Resumen
Los bahá’ís en todo el mundo consideran a ‘Abdu’l-Bahá no solamente como el Centro de Alianza de Bahá’u’lláh sino también como el Ejemplo de cómo debemos vivir. Sin embargo, a pesar que las imágenes y las anécdotas de ‘Abdu’l-Bahá que vienen a la mente para muchos de nosotros son del periodo de Su vida después de su liberación de prisión a la edad de sesenta y cinco años, no frecuentemente pensamos acerca de Él como un hombre de edad avanzada. Este artículo resume la naturaleza e impacto de la discriminación por edad y como aprendemos a ser de avanzada edad por la manera que la gente nos trata. Explora cómo el ejemplo de ‘Abdu’l-Bahá informa nuestras propias vidas dada la prevalencia de discriminación por edad en la sociedad Occidental.
