THE WEARY PURSUIT
There’s one sure way to feel
| really old. And that’s to follow
all the advice you - come across
on how to keep feeling young.
tor instance, take that busi
ness of “KeeD in with a young
crowd and you’ll feel young
, yourself’ It sounds good. Only
| thing is, it just doesn’t work.
With a group ten years young
j er, you go out for cocktails, then
j for dinner, on to a theatre or a
I movie, and afterwards some
, where else for pizza. You sag
| home dizzy with weariness at
' one in the' morning, collapse in
ito bed and find yourself too
tired to sleep. For the next
three days you feci positively
ancient.
; Face the facts. A young
! crowd can cover more ground,
slay up later, expend far more
energy than you can. And
when you’re ready to drop, the
| sight of all those radiant young
j people, obviously able to keep
i going for several hours more,
i doesn’t do much to make you
j feel young.
| Os course you want to be
I around young people part of the
j time, but mainly you should
I keep in with a crowd your own
age. And don’t feel you have
to use all your leisure in a
frenzied round of social, educa
tional, and civic activities. When
these are overdone, they tend
to become obligations rather
( than sat ! sfying ways to spend
your free time. There’s noth
! ing wrong with loafing at home
with your feet up, reading,
watching TV. listening to music,
or just daydreaming. And it’s
so restful.
