About this Quote

This quote by Jonathan Carroll recommends that young kids as well as old people have a great deal of time to invest with each other, which is why they manage so well. It suggests that both generations have a lot in common, such as having much more leisure time than various other age groups. This might be as a result of young children not having to function yet as well as old people having retired from their work. Having extra leisure time enables them to invest more time with each other, which can bring about a strong bond in between them. This quote also suggests that little ones and old people can pick up from each other, as they can share their experiences as well as knowledge. The quote suggests that children can benefit from the wisdom of the elderly, while the elderly can gain from the power as well as excitement of the young. On the whole, this quote suggests that children and old people can create solid partnerships as a result of their shared spare time.
