Man, look at that kid over there. He looks so young, maybe just left home, maybe just joined the workforce. And he's complaining about being old?? No way. If only he knew what you've been through, what you have to deal with every day at your age. Makes you feel kinda... decrepit. Maybe you should just accept that you're old, start acting your age...
Huh, look at that old guy, sitting over there. Bet he just heard you say you feel old. That look on his face though... that looks just like how you felt when you were looking at that kid. Like he's not really looking at you, he's looking at himself when he was your age, thinking about everything he's gone through since then. Betcha to him, you look like some young punk who doesn't appreciate what you've got...
Well, do you?
For every person younger than you who's saying they feel old, there's someone older than you who sees you as young and full of life. Go prove 'em right.
