Age
So we all turn old and then we die. The object of age signifies the diminishing value we have in life as well as the amount of time left to achieve whats deemed as perfect and do as much as we can to get that ticket to heaven when we meet the Big guy.
So what does age remind us of what does it mean? Does age give you an excuse to forget certain things, to run slower or even have poorer memory or a bad temper. Does age in a way earn you a right to do certain things youthful commoners cant do? We give each other a timeline and we predict certain forthcomings without knowing why. We choose to believe that at a ceratin age, we become too old for something or too unfit.We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. Just because we choose to believe that at 50 we'll be sick and at 70 we will die doesn mean that we become unfit. The mind becomes unfit. Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you dont mind, it doesn matter. Dont u think?
The object of age does not suggest who is more mature. In my humble opinion, its but just a number to distract what you think you can do. Ok at 15 you get ur ic, at 18 you go the army and at 21 you drive a car and at 30 you probably get married. Its all a notice thing, like warnings when you dun hand in your homework or a grumbling stomach when you miss out on lunch.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young and by doing that, we deserve a little credit for staying young.
I do not think that it suggests how mature or wise you get. Your life experience suggests that. Like mentioned before, it is not the length of life, but its depth. HOw much you gain in the shortest amount of time is also of greta essence. In a man that has had his whole life planned out and fed with a silver spoon , we might see lesser wisdom and maturity as compared to a teenager who has had to live in an environment where poverty is rife. Correct me if im wrong, but the age is no enigma. It is what you make it to be.
Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns, so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want, you can at least, get out of the way so you won't get run over. Yes that is what age is about, to keep learning. Theminute we choose to stop learning is the time we get older and older. everyday we learn it is a process all the way till you die.
Enjoy.
I will embark on a 10 episode story on this blog site. Well, either ten or more. Its not set. I have not tried something as such before so do not expect too much. I have had two stories in mind and have yet to choose one. The first is prob an epic love story between two ppl in Paris who never realise each others existence until their fate entangles for them to meet in the worst way. The second is a story between two best friends who are expert thieves. Things get in the way and they begin to lose trust. I'd need some votes if it isn too much of a hassle. Thank you.
