Reflections on life when we regard events and choices we’ve
made could give us reason to consider the

A twentieth century tune even had lyrics recorded by
numerous popular singers of the time that spoke of youth being wasted on the
young in relation to being in love. Here’s

What do you think – is youth wasted on the young whether or
not in terms of falling in love?
How could we possibly live life backwards?
