Why is it that when we are young, our body looks firm & juicy & handsome
but then a little bit later …

Well, what shall i say ; )

Why is it that youthfulness is so attractive and aging not always so?

Honestly, I think that it can not be considered
a great personal achievement to be young and pretty
when you are born with the Pretty-DNA

But if so, you are lucky, anyway!

Pretty people have it easier in life
than the not-so-pretty-ones
I have heard from sociologists

The little problem with that equation is
that youth does not give you
much life experience
the same way that old age
does not automatically give you
wisdom

Its true – honestly – that when i walk into a room full of people,
I single out the young and beautiful (women mostly ; ) in an instant,
its really instinctive.

But then, when i get to know some of those pretty faces,
often my interest wears thin quickly

Why that???

Well, i still appreciate the beauty, the nice looking body, the style & the glamour,
I still adore the innocence and the freshness.

But ever so often i also see the flatness of character,
very often the innocence is coupled with plain ignorance, arrogance and even
silliness (sorry girls, i don’t dare to say stupidness ; )

I miss the lines in the faces that tell of life lived
and experiences & trials and tribulations
and things fought for
and loved ones lost
and new love found
and successes and mistakes
and dreams realized
and the strength and endurance gained
along the way

I miss the deep background of knowledge
that a curious mind accumulates over time
and i miss the ability to form informed opinions
and articulate them appropriately

And, although i can have and enjoy a beautiful shallow-ish friendship with some of those beauties,
in the long run
what i really miss
is wisdom

The ability of a mature mind to connect the dots
and extract understanding and context form lie’s events
and seemingly random experiences

And the ability to create a body of authentic wisdom from that
and the willingness to pass it all on selflessly

Well, i guess that may be traits that old souls have
and they bring it with them when they come here

They often display wisdom way beyond their age
and character and firmness of personality
that has not much to do with their years on earth

Lucky me, when i can meet somebody like that.
Lucky me, because she is young and beautiful
and wise all together!

But then – even for them, those rare old souls in young bodies –
my question still remains:

Why our bodies are on the way down ; ) by the time we reach thirty,
why do our cells degenerate and die way before their time
and why do our bodies regenerate much much slower
with every passing century we live?

I know intellectually that this is nothing new,
people have aged and died since the first people walked on two legs.

But still i ask myself:
Is this the necessary intrinsic law of this place
this dimension of 3D/4D duality reality
or is it a flaw
in our DNA engineering?

Did our creator(s) fuck it all up?
Or is there a bigger picture
a plan more smart
than i can grasp?

I actually have a hunch
i think i understand the whole thing
intuitively : )

But i still don’t like the sagging skin
and the age marks
and the missing teeth ; )

Nothing in this life seems to be perfect, right?
