Youth

To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth.

~ Pearl S. Buck

I sometimes don't understand the desire to remain young. If you don't age you either are dead or else you fail to make progress and to learn and to continue to develop and grow. Maybe some people prefer stagnation. The stagnant waters of the fountain of youth. That would be a good book title.

Also, really, REALLY young kids can't even dress themselves. And older youth don't have fully developed brain. I guess if the fountain of youth is your dream than we just have different dreams. My dreams include being able to dress myself and having a fully developed brain.*
