Maybe these kids today are smarter than I’ll probably ever be. Maybe that’s why generations war. I think it’s envy. The old have what the young think they want and the young have what the old know they want. The sadness is that the young will get what they’re after and learn that the price of getting what you want is having what you once wanted.

But that didn’t matter last night to them or to me. Last night, I saw a moment of beauty. If I’m lucky, I’ll get to carry it with me as I get older. I won’t be lucky, though, because it is the doom of men that they forget.
