Some questions I liked to answer


1. What is so beautiful about youth?

When you are young, you still can learn many things, when you grow old you are not capable to do things you could do when you were young. When I was little I could do many things, but now at my age it's harder to learn new things, I don't think I could learn violin like I did when I was little. Or learn a new language as easily. It's much harder to learn Spanish because I just started learning while I learned Mandarin and English when I was very small. Ad another beauty about youth is, you have no wrinkles or bad memory.

2. We know what "perfect" most likely means to Socrates by looking at ancient Greek sculpture and art and drawing inferences, but he doesn't describe this "perfect" human form. What are your thoughts on the idea of a "perfect" human form today? What is it in your culture for men? women? What are your thoughts surrounding those ideals?

Well for men and women, I would think they would be strong, flexible, good faces, and be very intelligent. If you are intelligent you can unlock everything else there is to life. Everyone is intelligent in their own way, that's why people are so diverse. Beauty comes within more than from the outside. If you have beauty within, it will most definitely show on the outside, where people can see and will think of you as a beautiful person.

"freedom" of youth is a very true thing. about your ideas on beauty, though. do you only consider the outside of a person to be beautiful? what about the inside? the personality? and, i know that your ideas are true to most of the world. because thats how it is, its harsh, and the inside no longer matters. to be beautiful, you have to be perfect on the outside.

I also meant the inside, I said they would have to be intelligent,
when someone is intelligent, they are funny, high spirited, and much more.

I think that youth can also be found in old people as long as they are filled with spirit and energy. I like what you talk about in your second question but you should elaborate more.

Yes you are right Aowei. About when you said intelligence can be found in young people now a days. But Isidro is right intelligence can be found in older people as well but you got to understand that being intelligent doesn't mean being high spirited as enthusiastic and stuff it is about what you are doing in life and knowing that your doing the right thing for you and for the people around you when you are doing something. Remember that in life it worked for me it might come in handy for you some day you never know.

I think your words mean a lot in your second question. They are very powerful. It gets the word out very clearly. And your also right about the wrinkles! haha
