Immortality

The days go by, one by one. Before you know it, another year has gone by. Time seems to speed up the older you get. What once took several lifetimes when you were young is over in the blink of an eye.

Life is half over before you even notice. Perhaps that is why people don’t seem to grow up any more. Perhaps they haven’t noticed – or, perhaps they have. Perhaps they have seen – and were scared by coming face to face with - their own mortality. So, they think, if they refuse to grow up, then they can’t grow old. If they can’t grow old, then they can’t die.
