Old is young

The funny part in life is that at some point you stop wishing to live, and start waiting for its end. It's not that life is bad it's rather a state of saturation that you reach. People believe that such state shall be reached only when you are old: when you have seen plenty, heard plenty, and felt plenty. However, they are wrong. Old doesn't only signify the number of years you spent living; one could get old while still being physically young. It is not the philosophical concept that I am trying to discuss here, it is the real deep meaning of old. The real sense behind being old. To be old is to have heard plenty, seen plenty, and experienced plenty indeed. Nonetheless, to go through this plenty of situations doesn't necessarily mean that you have lived a lot. You could have seen in a year, what another would see in ten. Thus, for you to talk about age, don't imply that wisdom and maturation come with it. We meet many elderlies who completely lost their sense, and we meet middle agers who have lost hope and faith and are now acting nonsense. Hence, let's stop tying youth to foolishness and elderly to wisdom. What is wise for you is crazy for me, and vice versa.

Let's remove the numbers barriers that could stop one from doing what he wants because he is “numerically” unqualified...

We live in a world which rules have been set by people who foresaw it differently from what it has really become, and yet we can't alter the regulations in fear of either legal punishment or social isolation... Pity us.
