A child of five knows not what lies ahead in five years
the life experiences are of five years.
A child of 10 knows not what lies ahead in 10 years
the life experiences are of 10 years
A person of 20, or 30, or 40, then knows not what lies ahead
Why do we agonize so much over that which we cannot know yet?
Can we learn from children that we are still growing and learning?
And that "someday" is always here, and always around the corner?
