Tick Tock, the Biological Clock

The focus on youth has always been a rollercoaster ride. It comes and goes in the public forum as a worthwhile topic. Trends are here today and gone tomorrow. Styles, fashions, lingo – they all have the shelf life of a piece of cheese.

So what do you do, if you’re not a member of the youth movement, and haven’t been for, oh, a decade or so? Maybe longer? Do you have those moments when you see some kids holding hands or smooching, and feel that little pang of regret because you’re out of the loop?

This is not medical advice. You probably won’t find this in many of the psychiatry text books. Medicine, being a science, relies on mathematical probability and provable theory. Time has definite biological properties, and its affect on a person can be analyzed and prognosticated by very specific scientific criteria.

Pooh. A biological clock is nothing more than a realization that we are finite physical beings. So be it. That doesn’t mean that the indefinable and much debated person inside the physical body is necessarily a slave to the march of time.

You are only as old as you act, as you think, as you dream. If you still have the urge to go ask that nice-looking person at the table over there to go out, are you breaking any laws, other than “biological laws”? Will that person run away, screaming at the top of their lungs, that some old letch is attempting to molest them? Not likely, as long as you do it with respect and civility.

The heart is a persistent motivator. It really doesn’t care what the calendar says. If it feels like having some fun and excitement, it will make these wishes known very clearly. Best non-medical advice? Listen to your heart.
