What could a 64-year-old and a 7-year-old possibly have in common? A lot more than you'd think. A heartwarming video created by YouTube channel Facts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqSxjmvXzzY) shows that wisdom isn't just reserved for older people.
The video sat the young boy and the older man across from each other, asking each the same questions about life, love and aging. What are the worst things about each stage of life? Being young isn't without its perks but the boy laments having "lots of homework." Meanwhile, the older gentleman says aging means you can't do the same things you used to do when you were young.
"Do you wish you were young?" the young boy asks. "The great thing about being young is you have more time to do things ... I could play games ... I could use my imagination more," the 64-year-old responds.
"That's a sad story ... you can't do that anymore," the boy replies.
The boy shares what he thinks falling in love will be like while the older man shares how his love passed away. Then they both divulge their life advice for each other.
"You don't have to be rich to be happy," the older man says. "Do the things you like, that make you feel good."
The young boy's advice? "Don't be silly. Don't bully lots of people." Perfectly poignant.
