young people with more memories but less of an ability to remember them.
is that mean? perhaps,
if it offends somebody. old people are,
a paradox. making the most of what is left, scrambling to hold onto what has left
and can not be retrieved. retirement is
an intriguing concept, an
ultimate backwards progression: "travel when you are young because all you have left from the places you visit are the memories you make and the longer you have those memories the more they mean to you as they are revisited." what stops the young? the need to get somewhere before one travels somewhere else. we are taught to settle and build ourselves up in one location before leaving for the next. to explore -
the retirement lifestyle is most fit for the young, but
young people need time to become someone who goes somewhere and does something and grows old
with more stories, more mistakes, more memories
and less time.
