<<<The self-absorption of youth is charming but ludicrous when 
it persists into old age.>>>

<sigh>  I think I understand you here, but could you please expound on what
you mean by "the self-absorption of youth"?  This is probably close to the
heart of a major conflict I'm dealing with right now, and would sincerely
appreciate any further ideas you have on this subject.  My prior post about
section men etc. is obviously the self-absorption of youth, but I haven't
heard an especially convincing case as to why this "charming" quality becomes
ludicrous with old age.  I'd love for you to convince me...and I realize that
I'm asking a lot, but I really would appreciate it.  What is to replace the
"self absorption of youth" when one reaches adulthood?  I certainly hope its
not a job, money, a partner, children, golf, and writing scathing articles on
why and how Salanger is an immature loony twit.  I'm hoping that I can find a
nice cozy place in society while still retaining the "self absorption of
youth" (although I cringe at "self absorption", I'll still use it because
these are your words).  I can't think of any better words, by the way.  :)  
Humbly (hopefully),

Eric
