Remember the pity you felt for the middle-aged man you saw when you were in your teens? Remember how pathetic a sight it was, seeing him in his futile efforts to cover his bald pate by keeping his remaining hair long, and combing these straggly strands over the denuded scalp, trying his best to look younger, and every once in a while glancing at every convenient mirror just in case some of the strands were out of place?

It is quite easy to imagine that the same thing could happen to us.
