It's human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That's just so normal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Young people can be annoying, let's face it. But they can also be really refreshing to be around and full of enthusiasm.
People think that young people don't care about things, but I think they do care; they just aren't super interested in conforming to what older people think are the right way to do things.
As you get older, you see life is very short, so you have to appreciate more and more and to enjoy it.
Young people are fascinated with the idea of love, maybe because they haven't experienced it. The older you get, the more jaded you become with this, like, mystical love thing. It's not as exciting because it's not unknown.
It's a tender and complicated dance, watching our parents age. We become protective in ways we never were before, and we study them with a mix of sadness and curiosity: Is this what we will be like when we are their age? We tell ourselves to be patient - just answer the same question again as if it wasn't answered a moment ago.
Young people, you need the wisdom of age, just as some of us older ones need your enthusiasm for life.
The exhaustion of old age is something people who are younger don't fully appreciate.
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
It always interests me how obsessed people are about age.
Now there is this whole terror about getting old. Today, that fascination with youth is overrated. What's so special about being young? I just say that because I'm old.
