I think they are fearless, and you don't know how much they know. They are energetic to do anything and while I am so old and tired all the time. They are catching up so fast. I think only aging people would brew this type of feelings against young people.
The other day I phoned home, my dad was again bragging about how cute XiaoHo is. He said "When I was in the super market, many 30 something old women came around me and played with XiaoHo". I was so shocked. I am always my dad's little girl and I just heard my dad addressing females around my age "women".
"But Dad, I am also 30 something". He was also terrified but tried to cover his embarrassment. "You are not the same".
I guess perhaps the only way to preserve little diginity of getting old is to pretend that we know a lot and have experience that you cannot get from reading books. If that fails to arm ourselves, we smoke, drink, eat excessively, we completely give up the fight and lose in self-indulgence.
