This paper sets out from the consideration that nowadays old age is increasingly a source of new fears; these fears seem to translate into obsessive forms of a search for eternal youth.

Gratitude and gratuity, which are opposed to envy and despair, appear as the essential elements of a sense of integrity in old age. However, integrity is only possible through family and…
