mahogany table reminiscing about their lives. The point is and there is a point to this, is that for all their wealth and comfort, what they really valued were their memories of being young with all the world ahead of them. Would you(you have to be older than 12) trade what you have for the possibilities of youth(Children excluded)?

No I wouldn't. As nice as it sounds, to go through another complete life with all it's ups and downs.....no thanks.
There is something to be said to growing older (not necessarily wiser, but we always hope) .
There is a lot of comfort in reminiscing, mostly about the good things althought sometimes it is worthwhile to also remember the bad. The bad teaches us, at least sometimes.
What lies ahead is another big adventure and quite frankly, it scares the chit out of me. I can see what can go wrong. When you are young and exuberant about life, things you want to accomplish, you don't much think of pitfalls. You just plow ahead.
So happy plowing!!! :)

Could that story have been some of the inspiration for "Citizen Kane"?
Oscar Wilde put it best: "Youth is wasted on the young."
Personally, I would think hard about trading everything I have for another shot at the possibilities of youth. If I could keep only the knowledge and experience I now have, then it would be worth it to live life over again, because I would have another entire lifetime in which to improve myself and the world around me.
