My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.

You'll never find rainbows, If you're looking down.

If calamities had the weight of physical objects we should long have been crushed down, or else, we should by now have been hunchbacked, unsteady on our feet, and with faces full of gloom and utter despair. Yet my entire body throbs with life and is full of expectations. Each day brings a fresh stock of experiences and new dreams.

You just can't live in that negative way..... make way for the positive day.

But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.

The golden age is before us, not behind us.
