I sometimes think it's a good thing, meant to shield us from being too aware of life slipping away.Cecilio Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283375962527765787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18171692.post-63842578322285045062007-06-14T22:53:00.000-04:002007-06-14T22:53:00.000-04:00Unless one is truly stuck in a very "same old" exi...Unless one is truly stuck in a very "same old" existence I think for the majority of people a form of adolescence stays with us forever. Some is always new...(mostly there are always new problems) that keep challenging us. Especially as one ages the safety nets of the older generation disappear constantly, little by little. What's the difference between learning to ride a bike or walk well with a limp? Either demand reliance on the same quality in one's character, such as fortitude; age doesn't make a difference. <BR/><BR/>And socially, there are countless occasions where retreat or hibernation are so tempting to avoid having to deal with life on the line. Mental adolescence isn't really behind us, it's with us.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, however, I can't help but wonder if Alzheimer's isn't some kind of escape towards adolescence again for susceptible minds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
