If you are alive, if you are really alive and vibrating with life, you will look foolish; that's why children look like fools. Old people look wise because they are dead, stiff -- all life has oozed out of them. They are alive only for name's sake. They may have died a long time before.
A child is alive and intelligent because a child is more alert, more radiantly alert. See a child watching something. If a child is watching a snail just watch the child -- how alert, how totally in the moment he is. It is as if he has become just the eyes; his whole being is pouring through the eyes. A child is intelligent, all an old man becomes is cunning and clever.
That is the difference between growing UP and growing Old. Being Alive and existing.
Look at the confusions around. War, Politics, Poverty. These are not unsolvable nor we have to bite this down and pass on to next generations to come.
Stand for what is right. Stay Alive.
