Nah.
Privacy issue aside (we’ve given them everything they want on us already), there’s something else at play here.
Seeing yourself decrepit has a psychological effect, bet you felt it stick.
Aging is not a personal failure, but knowing what I know about health, I also don’t subscribe to the idea that getting old means inevitable frailty, pain, and deterioration, which is what I saw exaggerated in all those pics.
Just for fun?
On the same day I see mass use of the ‘old’ filter, I also see headlines about the pharmaceutical industry’s criminal overreach, intentionally overselling opioid pain medication across America, fueling an epidemic of addiction and deaths.
Why are people in so much pain? And what do they do about it?
Alls I’m saying is, watch what you’re being fed – mind and body.
Remember that epigenetics – the effect of outside forces on your DNA – may be more powerful than your gene ‘destiny.’ 💫
I wish you optimal health and longevity. 💫
