It's your thoughts, so I won't interfere

I don't have this great cult of Youth. Youth is a phase. I think if you're afraid of losing it, you'll only ruin it. You must live and accept every phase of life. That's how you can live evry bit of it to its fullest. People that are afraid to be or feel old, are the ones who always regret anything in life and are the ones who never enjoy what they have. They're always thinking about loss and the thought of it make them feel afraid, and being afraid all the time is what more than anything makes them feel old. A person who's calm and serene at heart doesn't need to prove anything, and doesn't need lies to survive either. It's fear and lack of acceptance that cause people to lie and be always in need to want more. Youth is not eternal, and it has its bad sides. Maturity on the other hand, which means aging and getting old for natural causes, has its good sides and if you learn to enjoy the process of aging without being obsessed by your lost youth, it will bring you serenity and more. Youth as a state of mind can be achieved only by the people who can accept what life brings and learn a lesson from it.

That was very random and it's not a reply to the first post. That is just what came to mind reading it
