Sometimes the old man forgets that he is old and tries to compete with the young man's strength, and then it's a sad sight.

Sometimes you should be allowed a tiny bit of joy that should stay with you for more than five minutes. That wasn’t too much to ask. To have a moment like this, and be able to hold on to it. To cross that membrane, and feel alive.
