Quote by Victor Hugo

Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.

Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.

Summary

This quote suggests that 40 is an age where youth begins to fade and maturity sets in, marking the transition from young adulthood to middle-age. Conversely, at 50 years old, one is seen as being in the early stages of old age, but with a sense of vitality and remaining youthfulness. The quote captures the notion that age is relative and can be perceived differently depending on one's perspective and societal expectations.

Unconditional love is not affirming another in every decisio

Unconditional love is not affirming another in every decision they make especially when those choices are unhealthy. Unconditional love will risk offending in the name of genuine concern. It will risk relationship for the ultimate well-being of the other. To indiscriminately affirm the unhealthy choices of others is not love at all but perhaps the worst kind of fraud.
