Are you an 80s kid" The monk replied, "No. The youngster asked, "How old are you?" With a smile, the monk said, "If you ask the right question, you will get the correct answer. The monk added by saying " Never ask how old you are; ask how young you are." The youngster apologized and asked, “How young are you? The monk replied, " I am a kid forever in an ageing body." The youngster asked, " Master can you explain your answer?" The monk said, "Ageing is a natural process, but to feel young is a choice; when there is a kid inside me, there is curiosity, joy, and willingness to forgive. The youngster, with a smile said, "Thank you, master, for kindling the kid in me." M
