Quote by Aristotle

The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication.

The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication

Summary

This quote suggests that young people are often seen as being energetic, enthusiastic, and full of life, much like someone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It implies that the youth tend to possess a distinct zest for adventures, curiosity, and taking risks. Just like being intoxicated can temporarily alter one's perception of reality, the quote insinuates that youth likewise have a unique perspective on life, guided by a certain lightheartedness and eagerness that may fade with age.

Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.

The fact was that, as droves of demon kings had noticed, there was a limit to what you could do to a soul with, e.g., red-hot tweezers, because even fairly evil and corrupt souls were bright enough to realize that since they didn't have the concomitant body and nerve endings attached to them there was no real reason, other than force of habit, why they should suffer excruciating agony. So they didn't. Demons went on doing it anyway, because numb and mindless stupidity is part of what being a demon is all about, but since no one was suffering they didn't enjoy it much either and the whole thing was pointless. Centuries and centuries of pointlessness.
