Switching On the Sun

Being young, one is most likely to be accustomed with the in-thing. Most often than not, whatever is the trend is even humorously compared to that of what the current generation apparently deem as old-fashioned. Time will come when that 'thing' will as well turn out to be "... so 5 minutes ago!" True to such expression, time's fast and changing. What's up-to-the-minute as of the moment could be out-of-date in 5 minutes figuratively speaking. Although outdated, this part-of-the-past movingly becomes a reminder. Conversely, it is such an instance wherein realization sets in - "We're old!" Yet somehow, upon realizing how outlandish we could be if some things from our past would be presently carried out, a bracing and comforting self-condemnation takes place ("Damn!
