I went to see the time traveller movie Looper on Saturday night with some friends. The film stars Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt. Its pretty smart and has an interesting philosophical bent and the ending has a redemptive feel. The main character is sent back 30 years in time to be murdered by his young self. It made me think about what I might tell my younger self if I could go back thirty years and meet her. I am not sure that I would even recognise her, but I sure hope she wouldn't want to murder me.
Its been said youth is wasted on the young and maybe thats true but I don't envy my young self, nor would I change much in my life if I did have that power. I certainly would not like to be young again now. We are entering a very challenging time, economically and environmentally, and I feel that young people are going to have to have tougher futures.
