200. So true. Getting over that is when you know you're really grown.

When you realize it's just a cycle we all ride along, taking the path that aging brings, you can overcome the silliness of thinking one generation is greater and one generation is lesser.

When you're in grade school, life is grade school. And for college, life is college. There's a reason the word "exuberance" is often preceded by "youthful." Fools rush in where angels and old farts dare not tread.

I can remember in the 1970s I read something written in ancient Rome, over 2000 years ago, complaining mightily of "today's youth." It sounded exactly like the crap written about youth in the 1960s and 1970s.
