8. Would I? No.
The happiest days of my life were my 4 college years which I was lucky to have done during my middle years - 45 to 48.

I wouldn't trade them for any instantaneous and clearly perilous venture into my brain chemistry.

If you could grow a giant redwood overnight, would you? An elephant? Anything else in nature?

The beauty of life is its birth, and then the growing and maturation process.

Let it all happen as intended by the very nature of life - and learning - using life's most important and cherished element - time.

By the way, I recently celebrated my 80th birthday. I know about time - its joys and pleasures, and some of its pain.

(I recommended the OP because it is thoughtful and appreciative).
