Please offer your interpretation:

"Whom the gods hate they keep forever young."

  1. Give "the gods" some reason to hate you and they'll punish you by keeping you immature and dumb.

    Do you think the gods hate your brother?

  2. Quite possibly--although, why would staying young be a punishment?

    P.S. this quote is actually from a book! =)

  3. I figured it was.

    Clearly, whoever wrote that line thinks staying young is a bad thing.

  4. Maybe it is.

    I sort of thought we don't really get to appreciate our youth until it's over--that's just the sad nature of things. Perhaps something to do with wisdom, reflection, and all those other good things that come with maturity.

    Just my speculation anyway...I posted this quote mainly because I haven't found an interpretation that I am satisfied with yet...

  5. God give those of evil nature immaturity and narrow-mindedness.
