Life is relative: Age, weight and counting. Except perhaps sunscreen

Age is so relative. Kids want to grow up quickly. To be unshackled by all the rules imposed by parents / elders. I always want to yell - "what is the hurry. Enjoy this time. You are never going to get it back". Little do they realize that typically they trade from one set of shackles to another as they move through life. The fortunate ones break free. Being an adult is not all that is made up to be.

Apart from age, weight is also relative. The older one gets, both age and weight are very touchy, or should I say, "weighty" topics. The other day me and my friends were recollecting our youthful days. At each point in time we tend to criticize our weight and reflect nostalgic on when we were younger and weighed less. The reality is that years from now, my weight at this point in time (Nov 2005!) will seem, well quite less! Yes, life is relative.

"Sunscreen" sums it up very well. You can google on it - Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) . (Thank you, Baz)
