Aging And Ill Health Should Never Be Embarrassing. We're All Humans, After All
-
Oh, this is sad: The great Pele is said here by his own son to be embarrassed to leave his house because he can't really walk and he's infirm. He's also 79, so it's perfectly understandable that he's not what you remember him as. I'm lucky enough to have seen him in person in the latter stages of his career, but I hope he gets well enough, and confident enough, to re-emerge in public. I know the public sometimes don't want to see their old heroes as old people, but nobody should ever hold aging against anyone. I mean, he's Pele, one of the greatest soccer superstars ever. He shouldn't feel like he has to hide. (BBC)
