18.Are you a young man

18.Are you a young man?
At the end of every year, it always gives us a chance to get out of our small circle and see the truth of a larger time scale.
For example, we will realize this year that the American soldiers who are fighting in Afghanistan are still settling the grudges for the United States since 9 / 11, but you think these young people were not born on 9 / 11.
Also, this year we will suddenly realize that, oh, we have passed the first 20 years of the 21st century, and we are about to start the third 10 years. Oh, the post-90s will be 30 soon. Oh, it's going to be born in 20.
Moreover, once the post-20s grow up, they will look at today's post-90s just like today's post-90s look at the post-60s. They think they are old people. These two days, I joked with some post-90s friends. When we live in a nursing home together in the future, I am 90 years old, and you are 70 years old. In fact, you are the same generation.
So you see, time is a heartless guy. No label can ensure that you are young, except that your lifestyle is really young.
你是年轻人吗？
每年到年末的时候，总是给我们一个机会，跳出自己的生活小圈子，看到更大时间尺度的真相。
比如，我们今年会意识到，现在在阿富汗战场上打仗的美国大兵，他们还在为美国了结9·11开始的恩怨，但是你想，这些年轻人在9·11的时候根本就没出生啊。
还有，今年我们会突然意识到，哦，我们已经把21世纪最初的20年度过去了，马上要开始第3个10年了。哦，马上90后都要30岁了。哦，马上20后要出生了。
而且20后这批人一旦长大，他们看今天的90后，其实就跟今天的90后看60后一样，觉得他们是老人啊。这两天我和几个90后的朋友开玩笑，将来我们一起住养老院的时候，我90岁，你们70岁，其实也算同一代人。
所以你看，时间真是个无情的家伙。什么标签都不能确保你是年轻人，除了你的生活方式真的年轻。
