Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The age we live in is a busy age; in which knowledge is rapidly advancing towards perfection.
We live in an age that stresses personal goals, careers, happiness, work and religion. The emphasis is on the individual and how best that individual can satisfy himself.
The hallmark of our age is the tension between aspirations and sluggish institutions.
At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at its worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.
As human beings we value the experience that comes with age. We are reminded over and over again with statements like 'older and wiser' and 'respect your elders,' promoting age as something to be cherished and respected.
Age merely shows what children we remain.
Age is a convenient barometer of what a person is capable of, but it is only one.
'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.
Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
Our age is before all things a practical one. It demands of us all clear and tangible results of our work.
