doing both the OPPOSITES

yesterday, we went to school to build this 10-feet christmas tree, i thought much of the expected things in there are a bunch of cutting, sticking, gluing and such stuff but to my surprise the end of the day gave me a lot better outlook about life.
it was so much fun having that "hep hep hooray" game. not only it is fun to see faces of funny people trying to concentrate with their brows joined and forehead layered with lines but also it eases the burden of life. maybe these are not only the reason why i did like that game but it were also the smiles, giggles and laughters of the people you are not familiar and comfortable with that made the
whole thing addictive.
so much with the entertaining side, it was also a great day because a friend told a great story. i was quite surprised upon hearing myself throwing words which are often said by older folks. i realized that we are really growing old and along with our age comes maturity of our thinking.
yes, we're growing old we're growing old and do not know whether it is for better or worse; we're growing old and do not know if it will end sooner or later; we're growing old and do not know the end of the deal;we're growing old and do not know if we can experience this thing the next time around; yes,
indeed we're growing old.
I am really happy to consider myself today as a teenager, as an adolescent and especially as a youth, typified by the two contrasting situations mentioned above- saying things of the olds and doing things of the kids...still i exist and try to live with the life where the unmovable mover wants me to be.
