I like the second better, if you want me to pick. But I think the second is a more practical one. Though both are very true. Would you really want to go through youth forever, at least in this mixed up world?
ReplyDeleteIt's a cliche but completely accurate: youth is wasted on the young. Although I'm not old (in my 30s), it's amazing what even just a dozen years have brought in terms of life experience and practical knowledge since I was in my early 20s.
ReplyDeleteDoom, if we stayed youthful forever, wouldn't the world be different?
ReplyDeleteBut, no, I don't want to stay young always mostly because I know it can't happen but that doesn't mean that just because I reach a certain age I have to curl up.
Mike, I loved high school. And then life went downhill until I reached my 40's. Life is good now and getting better all the time.
Older than hell, yes
