Reply #19: Ah, but the only way to stay young is to die young.

Actually, I rather like taking things seriously. That's the problem I think, nothing's serious until everything is serious.

That's why I'd never want to be young again, because the memory of my myopia, self absorption and lack of perspective pains me.

Since I've done both, been young and been old, I think my insight might have some more merit than yours.

But hey, this is your thread, and as I recall, it was about a movie for your date and your highly intellectual movie choices and not about the merits or demerits of aging. You seem like a nice kid, and I'm sorry you're not planning on living too long. Therefore I would suggest you enjoy the movie to the maximum. You only have a few years left, afterall. :-)
