Best years how? If it's pure youth/age you're on about then perhaps you're correct, but everywhere else the young chumps fail. Strength, confidence, finances, education, experience, I could go on. There are off course exceptions to the rule but very few.
I'm not 30 but 32 by the way. When I was 20, anyone at 32 seemed ancient to me. I was fixated with age and staying young. At 32 I outdo my 20's self to a magnitude that reaches into the hundreds. I'm better now in every single way apart from the number that reflects my age. I find 18-25yo's annoying and stupid and thank the Gods I'm not that age anymore and having to deal with that peer group.
Btw, the thread I made was done in jest. The thread title should've been the first clue. I literally would not change my life/age for anything.
I have no idea how old you are, but please PM me when you're 32 and tell me if you feel ANY different from whatever age you are now. I'm betting that you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Everything you said is true. I think in this thread you people are saying when did you have the best moments of your life and everyone sayes when they were 20.
Ofcourse you are better now, spiritually, psychologicly hopefully
etc, but people still look at you like you are a leader, not a kid and it is not expected for a 30 year old to act like a... well 20 year old
For example in gymnastics, you start off when you are 3, by the time you reach your teens you are a master. By your twentys you are world champion and you retire when you are 25 and plus because your body won't receive as much punishment, period.
In the old times men died at 35 something, being kings at 15 something because that's when your viral life energy is at it's wildest and can go to any direction you want to channel it. But by the time you reach 25 you are rather mature and you know as they say "old dog doesn't learn new tricks"- applys here. That's why I say being young is the best age because then it's the easyest to shape how your life will evolve in the future, that's all.
You said "acting young when you are 50", anyone who has the need to
act young has issues imo. How can you have balanced mind and feel great and superior when you were 20, if you want to act young?
