Is trying to be young is as satisfying and rewarding

Oh no,its not at all easy,because its like trying to step back from the present into the past and you wll end up being a misfit.Youth has its own charm attached to it,when a person is physically fit and mentally happy and carefree, with the feeling of having the whole world under the feet. As a person becomes older he or she is bound by responsiblities and experiences and age too takes its toll on a person.Its true that every person tries to hide their real age and want to appear younger...Some people feel they are still young at heart and want to do things that the younger generation does,but its better to age gracefully than to try to appear younger,and in the process become a complete misfit,because there is a certain dignity and grace attached to each age and its best to uphold it,than to tarnish it............

Hi Bala sure, but again it depend on age and what kind of activities u want to do, as it must co relate with physical condition one must think, act, like young, enthusuiastic, but physical actions and movements must be as per age Take care

I think being yourself is what is satisfying and rewarding. That way one can be as young or old as one wants to be. The funny thing though is that when we are young most look forward to growing up and facing life's experiences and when we grow old we look back to the younger days.

As long as we don't exagerate trying to be young is okay to maintain a youthful attitude.

Trying to be young takes a lot of work. Being young doesn't require hard work. Even if you put hard work into it, you still aren't young, so it is a defeating goal. Eventually, you loose.

Of course not because you may be able to deceive everyone by all the modern means of making yourself look young but in the end what matters most is how you feel deep inside. It's good if you still feel as young as you are trying to look but still there is that knowledge that you are not as young as you want to make it appear. You might have the spirit but the flesh could be weak. In short, it might not be as rewarding as the real thing. But isn't that always so? The real thing is always much better than the imitation?

I think that each stage in life comes with its own rewards. Being young is great while you're young, and growing older is great as you're growing older. One must enjoy the stage of life they are currently in. If you spend all your time trying to be older when you're young, and trying to be younger when you're old, you are going to miss out on the moment.

No. No way it can be Bala! Trying to be young is not being so. Something when we try to do against the nature's rule we lose our sanity and instead of feeling satisfying we tend to look older. As for myself, I have always wanted to age gracefully and interestingly I have wanted to look older than I look at some point in life. I wanted to look like my age. I really do not like anyone asking me, which college I went in - it feels that your existence and identity are being questioned!

I really miss being young sometimes. There is no way that I can act young anymore. I have too many responsibilities. I think it is more fun when you truly are younger.

Hi Bala...as I have grown up with my children so I have stayed young at heart so don't need to try and be young..it should be how you feel not to have to try to feel..and I feel youngeer than my age and guess always will that's just me...littleowl

I think anyone should not stop keeping him or herself fit and healthy. Being fit and healthy delays the aging process and it indeed satisfying and rewarding. Although we can't avoid to grow old at least our body does not deteriorate immediately. We can always grow old gracefully and healthy if we know how to take care of our body. We can't be forever young in looks but it is always possible to maintain a young heart though.

Do you mean trying to stay physically young or being young at heart? I think it's important for someone to "act" one's age but never to forget to balance it with both the child and adult in them. One can only be so responsible, wise and mature for so much that we need to let out steam once in a while and act and appreciate the world as we used to once as kids. As for body modification just to stay young, I don't know.
