Our society is built on clichés. Everyone says that the youth is a blessing and old age is a curse, but is it? Yes, youth is great when you have all the energy, you are naive and you see the world through rose tinted spectacles but as you age you realize how life is. Even if it's unfair, and you have built wisdom over the years to handle whatever it is that life throws at you, you still need patience to withstand it all. As a younger you, there are so many things that you can do, but do you ever have the time, or the money or the freedom to do it? We are directed to live our lives as our parents or guardians deem fit, we at times are mandated and driven by our parents to fulfill their dreams and passions. Does that not put pressure on youth? because if at times you don't indulge them, you might just be tagged a rebel.
As we grow up, we are busy exploring ourselves our hobbies, our choices but as an elderly we are capable of knowing what we really want and what our path really is. Youth is where we commit maximum mistakes and sometimes suffer harsh repercussions because of it. How does old age become cursed then? Has anyone ever though about it? Is it because of the suffering from various diseases that one suffers from? They exist because of all the choices made during our youth, which is only a blessing because we know not the consequences that our decisions have on old age, but then again, you only live once, right?
I feel that old age is a blessing because you are lucky to have lived to see a fulfilling life. I say that's a blessing!! To see a life completed, that has to mean for something. So, youth or old age, both are a blessing or curse, it's only about how we live our lives and the choices that we make while living it.
