Maybe it’s just important to stay generally social with folks of all types, as perspectives and conversations keep us young? Is that a good maxim?

Definitely. Diverse friends give you a lot of insight and perspective and can help you not to become too judgemental. And then, when you’re really old, you will still have a social circle despite the older people and many of your age group being gone.
