There are two kinds of
people. One kind, you can just tell by looking at them at
what point they congealed into their final selves. It might
be a very nice self, but you know you can expect no more
suprises from it. Whereas, the other kind keep moving,
changing… They are fluid. They keep moving forward and
making new trysts with life, and the motion of it keeps them
young. In my opinion, they are the only people who are still
alive. You must be constantly on your guard against
congealing.
