I ask myself the same thing, when did i stop having the burning desire to pursue everything , and make the world a better place, and i KNEW that i could at those moments when your alone in your parents house shut up in a room , at such a time when everything inside and outside of you is changing....
i had the imagery of my self in front of masses explaining the keys to "peace on earth" and all i wanted was to some day do that,just walk up to the white house and tell the president what he could do to acheive peace and order, and tell every world leader also.....
i think with age our perception slowly diminishes into the reality of life, and with every realization of how the world works, and what society dictates, our strong urges become more and more backgound noises, and the ENDLESS discouragement of so many around us...
and those background thoughts that we only hear on occasion, and brush off as
random untangable dreams
when in fact that little whisper is just a soft reminder of our true destiny , our intended fate.........that we have the power to ignore, or at least try and save...
so dont give up on trying to save yourself
