The Chinese calculate age based on the lunar cycle not on the calendar year. In their culture, a person’s experience and wisdom are the basis for how someone is viewed, not their physical age. Where we might see only a young boy, upon looking deeper there may indeed be ancient wisdom. Unfortunately since so much of our culture is based on physical age we automatically assume that if someone is an adult then they have some level of wisdom.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were? It may be that you feel 25 most of the time. What age you feel is the age you are at that moment in your life, hence the old adage “you are only as old as you feel.” So if you’re feeling older then you’d like to be then for just a little while, every now and then, let your inner child out to play. Go play on the swings or skip to lunch. It’s the little things in life that make it fun.
