As the saying goes "You're only young once." This phrase can be defined in many ways, but the ones that most vibrantly come to mind are "do all you want while you can" and "live life to the fullest." It is hard to imagine since we are so young that when we get older we won't be able to do some of the many things that we love now. But that's the way it is. Everyone has their time.
Isn't it something how people are never satisfied no matter what? The get the exact thing they want but next week they want something new. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Our never-satisfied attitude is what prompted/prompts us to improve civilization with things such as technology. However, this attitude is also what drives greed, lust, and killing. When you're young, you can't wait to be older. But when you get older, you would do anything to have your youth back. I wonder if one day, this attitude will only drive us to the optimistic actions.

Noah, I get what you mean by living free & well while you're young, but maybe the focus is "you only live once," since people actually can do great things when they're older. And maybe some people's "times" just come later than others to do those things. I also can relate to people never getting enough, and maybe that we should all just appreciate what we have and work with that.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean. We all take for granted so many things. We need to better ourselves.

Noah I really like your post because you show something that people do all the time these days. People want to be younger when there older and they want to be older when there younger. Overall good post.
