Answer 1

There is a logic behind why the Old is compared with Gold. As we know Gold is one of the rare metal on the earth and that makes it precious and expensive too. Gold is always associated with some big event in life like wedding, birthdays, anniversaries. Gold doesn’t lose its value over the time, it never gets old. On contrary, it’s value get appreciated. These are the reasons why Old is compared with Gold. Old things, memories, experiences are like gold; they carry sweet memories with them. Old things might loose their materialistic value but their real worth gets appreciated with time. Like gold, old things are attached with some of the best memories. When one sees those old things, memories associated with flash through the mind. Like gold one should preserve old things.

Old things don’t just have a place in personal life but various fields, industries do believe in Old Is Gold strategy. For example; in today’s technology driven world modern warfare is highly depends on the latest technology, more the advanced you are more powerful you are. But even army and defense strategist say Old is Gold. Today also they use old warfare strategies like Guerilla Warfare. Vedas, Puranas, Sacred Texts, Yoga, Ayurveda all these things very old, ancient for that matter. But teaching from these texts are still applicable to this day. Though Yoga is thousand-year-old it’s in trend now. People who own a complete Apple family gadgets find the peace of mind through age old yoga techniques. On contrary, not all old is gold. Human history saw wars, barbarism, mass deaths, famine and social injustice. We should take best from the history and leave behind the bad things.

Old and new things should go hand in hand. Adapting to new things in part of evolution, one has to do it but one should appreciate old things too. Old thing possesses excellent knowledge and experience, we the new generation should learn those good things.
