I meant exactly what I said. Fools exist in all generations.

I think foolishness also exists in every human being. Could anyone see himself/herself free of foolishness? Sometimes foolishness could even be very attractive.

I agree. I wish I could enjoy the same foolishness and fun as I get older. But I think I would be the last one who wishes to keep himself out of the range of foolishness. Would you then call me a man poor in spirit? (I'm kidding) Very Happy

I think you guys are getting foolishness and fun mixed up. Fun can seem foolish, but it's not. Foolishness is often definitely not fun, especially when it lands you in jail or results in some government policy that screws up people's lives.
