After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.
There is this idea that appealing to youth is the only way forward. But that is no longer the case. Youth is not everything. Now we have all the baby-boomers in their 60s, like me, who are actively engaged in life - we're not retiring, we're not just being put out to grass once we hit 60.
The love we have in our youth is superficial compared to the love that an old man has for his old wife.
So many young people are coming out of a generation that has experienced deep woundedness and brokenness, and they are full of life. They are eager to engage. They care about community, and they care about one another.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.
The youth is the hope of our future.
A healthy love life is not and should not be the preserve of those in their 20s and 30s. It's important at all ages.
Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.
