I was watching a movie. I think it was called “Breakfast Club”. There are some moments in some movies which outweigh the rest of the movie. These moments of few seconds make the entire hour & half of watching worthwhile. At one such moment in one such movie a dialogue was delivered “ One’s heart dies as one grows older“. I can vaguely remember what transpired before or after this. This is what stayed behind of the movie.
I was in a mall browsing through clothes on sale. My two year old ran to a woman and hugged her with utmost affection. That lady had given my daughter a hair cut few days back. I was astonished that my daughter could even recognize her. I was not the only one astonished. The hair stylist was equally taken aback with this show of affection. And then she remembered. My daughter giggled and showed her happiness on this chance meeting in many ways. How generous can young ones be with their love !
As we grow older we get more wordly-wise. But why ! With more wisdom shouldn’t our hearts be full of more love ? That makes me ask : Are we any wiser ?
