Per Cent Age

I want to take only a moment to explain why life seems to go faster as you get older. It was once pointed out to me that it's like a roll of toilet paper, seemingly going faster at the end. It's a percentage thing. For example, when you are two and your mom tells you to wait until next year, well that's half a lifetime. At fifty, next year is a couple of adventures away. As a kid every day is full of hundreds of adventures. Waiting one fiftieth of a life is nothing compared with half a lifetime. To be younger means to be able to put aside adult necessities and have more adventures. No wonder it's so hard to get young again. Life burdens us with so many responsibilites. I'm convinced that stress makes you older. We stress most over things we care most about, family, friends & finances. Eliminate those cares fro your life and you will stay a lot younger. Somehow it doesn't sound like a fair trade. Carefree is a two way street. It really doesn't matter if you die. It's if you lived that counts.
