No one wants to experience
what comes with getting old, wrinkle skin, hot flashes, no teeth, expensive
dyes, male and female wigs, week bones, loss gravity, bad feet, bad eyes, bad
hearing, hearing aids stuck in your ear, not having the strength to do what you
once could, can't drive, can't run can't walk, can't read the small print that
some are using to deceive older and younger ones , and no one around to care in
the times we are living in
To ‘stay young’ has now
become an ideal, and yet our contemporary culture teaches people to age as
rapidly as possible. Oh, not physically, to be sure! Every day, quantities of
products and methods are invented to keep the body fit, to maintain the figure,
to smooth away wrinkles and so on. But inwardly, psychologically, men and women
age earlier and earlier, because it is earlier and earlier that they forsake
simplicity, spontaneity and confidence to become suspicious, calculating, blasé
and dull.
There is only one way to remain
young at heart, forever alive, loving, interested in everything, quick to
forgive, delighted by the slightest thing, and ready to forget insults, sorrow
and failure. Maintain a heart that is always ready to love and embrace the
whole world, a heart that does not shrink and grow cold. As long as you
maintain a warm heart, you will never grow old."
So to answer the question, I
think I would like to be 18 again.
