Does playing in the rain require any age ?

Tiny drops of water falling ceaselessly from the cloud laden sky, brings out the child in me every time I witness it. Rain has always been a fascination for me. This happenings in nature still makes my heart downs with joy. When I was a child, nothing could keep me indoors when it would rain. Knowing very well that scoldings would await me, I, nevertheless, would cover my schoolbag with my raincoat and carry the rain on myself, walking gleefully with my friends down the road drenched from head to toe. I can never forget those happy moments. Even today, the rain beckons me and I gladly yield to it feeling all the pleasures of my young age surrounding me. The only difference being that there are no scoldings now. Being young is an act of the mind and not of the body for me. But do you think age really is a hindrance to the joyful moments of playing in the rain ?

You can play and dance in the rain as much as you want regardless your age. But remember too much rain water is not good for our health. With the age our immune system gets weaker. So be careful, rain at times can give you bad cold.

I will always rememebr it.

Hi titansaha, I agree with you age should not make a difference, if you want to play in the rain, just go do it. Of course, most of us are far too conscious of what other people will think, but do we really have to answer to others? We are very different in our thoughts about rain because for some reason it seems to depress me. I only like to hear rain on the roof at night as it helps me to sleep. Blessings.

No it does not. As long as you are fit and healthy! If you want to enjoy the rain by getting wet then it's absolutely fine. But one should remember with the age our immune system does get weaker. So...

I love playing in the rain!! Dancing too! That is especially true insummer when it's hot, but in winter too, if I can get the chance. I think there is no age limit to playing!

I'm 17. When it rains and it's not too cold-I LOVE to feel the rain. I think it's a spiritual experience, but that could be just me. It makes me kind of high on life..and I realize how small yet big we are in this world.

Not at all!Why age should be taken into consideration if you want to play in the rain?Enjoying the rain is indeed a gift of mind where more people curse it as it had spoiled their daily chores.Only a few can see the beauty of the rain and like to experience it closely by getting wet in it.Just the child in you should be waken up and that's all.

No below rain, all are same, so age doesnot matter below rain. Just forget all worries and enjoy in rain.
