“Youth is wasted on the young.”

Single subject April theme “old” #29

From George Bernard Shaw (Irish dramatist and author. 1856-1950)

He later expanded his opinion with “they're brainless, and don't know what they have; they squander every opportunity of being young, on being young.” !!!

Wonderful candid, John! - what lovely young people.

And looking back at my own younger days, I got to say I agree with GBS - pretty brainless but still thought I knew everything, and that anyone older than 40 was ancient and therefore senile - and I cluelessly squandered every moment I had! 🤣

Awesome post - love it!
