Someone who laughs at you
I decided to learn music in my early thirties. It is not the age to start something new, but I think there is no phenomena as an aging mind. Definitely we age physically but I do not feel that decidedly our mental aging matches that of our physical age always. We do get more mature, or rather more dull as we see ourselves as aging people who are slowly loosing few capabilities with age. But what is age, more than a mere number ? No wonder people were living longer when there was no numerology.
Opportunities do not always come at the right time, that is if one believes that there is a right time for things. I knew I love music, I respect art and culture but I was very shy as a young girl. I could not have imagined singing freely before anyone, even my own family. The inhibitions become less dominant as we grow up sometimes and that helps us feel more confident. Also for those who have experience shortage of financial resources in their youth, the later part of youth is definitely is the time to do whatever they could not do when they did not have enough resources.
As we age we have more responsibilities, like kids providing for their growth and education, making our futures secure etc. But age also brings certainty which youth does not have. When you are young you are a dreamer drifting from various colorful dreams of what you want to be. Your efforts or constraints or sometimes destiny takes you to where you are now. But when we are older we see things in a different light. But we can never say that light is rather bright because we lose certain aspects like absolute trust, ability to dream, ability to make true and lasting friendships as we are to busy for some things. But then we can brighten the light, by not letting our mind get under the pressure of age. Let us all say this – Age is just a mere number and nothing.
I have seen many women who are in particular obsessed with age. They always start any new friendship or eventually drift off to knowing the age of the person they are speaking with. But honestly the one who is older definitely would feel one slight pang of embarrassment and the one who is younger feels a slight sense of happiness. But its more the meeting of ideas and matching of frequency as it is called that brings people together. If you wish to experiment you could try getting to know some much older people or much younger people. I particularly like very young kids and seem to understand what is going on in their minds. Also I felt I can relate to those who are much older than me and that is how I sensed what they might be wanting to share with us. I became friendly with a 70 year old lady and in just one meeting she advised to live life completely and never to give up anything you truly wish because of the constraints of the world.
The only things that have helped people achieve results in this world are just dedication and effort and nothing else. So work on your path and stop not, till you reach your goal.
