Should old men sing when walking or shopping?
Response:
Whether old men should sing while walking or shopping is a matter of personal preference and context. Singing can be a joyful expression and can enhance one’s mood, regardless of age. Here are a few considerations:
- Personal Enjoyment: If singing brings joy to the individual and enhances their experience, then it can be a positive activity.
- Social Context: It’s important to consider the social environment. Singing in public spaces may draw attention, and reactions can vary. Some people may enjoy it, while others might find it distracting.
- Health Benefits: Singing can have health benefits, such as improving mood and respiratory function, which can be particularly beneficial for older adults.
- Cultural Norms: In some cultures or communities, singing in public is more accepted than in others. Understanding the local norms can help guide the decision.
Ultimately, if an older man enjoys singing and feels comfortable doing so, there’s no reason he shouldn’t express himself in that way while walking or shopping.
EDUCATION, A LIFE FORCE 
Excellent points, AI. Thank you for this, Henry. Great question to pose for AI. I am an old man. I sing. Sort of can’t help myself. ~Ed.
I do it all the time and occasionally catch myself out because I am singing without realising it.
I see that as a good sign.
At times I have had people bail me up, telling me the song I am singing is ‘catchy’ and wanting to know the words of the song.
Knowing the words is not always a present skill….
