Agreed.
The Age of the Body, the Mind and the Soul can all be very different from each other.
A man who is physically old may be young in spirit and retain the childish mind, while a child may be old in spirit and wise beyond their years.
I was an old in spirit and wise child. I want to be a child-like old man one day, seeing the wonders of earth with the innocence and keen observation of a kid. Right now, I'm floating somewhere in between, neither young nor old, wise or unwise. Like Gandalf said after falling in the pit in Moria, and returning, "I am different. I have forgotten things that I thought I knew, and remembered things from where I don't know." (Paraphrased, from memory of the book)
 
Credo to live by: " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

My version of this is "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them" -- unless that's not possible because I can't figure out what they would want me to do unto them, then I go with the original version.
 
Keep yourself to yourself as most people don’t really care. Their words don’t line up with their actions and lie with mind games and be very selfish. They only meet up when they’re in the mood. Stay away from those narcissists. That’s what I’ll call them. By the way, I’m fine. Just saying.
