Personal thoughts: I understand youth is fleeting, but so is life. Too many get wrapped up into making an idol out of youth they forget aging is also a treasure that so many do not have to privilege to experience. There is a unique beauty and value in every stage of life.
This book artfully captures a myriad of existential questions. I am enjoying it thus far.

The cultural motif of a Faustian bargain in exchange for eternal youth. Idolatry of ignorance, youth, hedonism, and beauty. A picture as a physical manifestation highlighting the inherent dangers of prioritizing aesthetics over morality. Very fitting to read in today’s society. *chef’s kiss*
