Today is my birthday, I am 22280.25 days old so I know a thing or 3 about aging. As we age the natural order of things is for people in the prime of life to take over things. I think it is sometimes hard for us to let go of our life long positions, that we worked hard for, to some "kid". But wasn't it just yesterday when we were just kids? I know how I feel, and I don't really want a-- surgeon, for example, who feels like I do, working on me! I think I'm ready to let the younger people take over.
And speaking of kids, are mentors any different? The time comes for them to take over too. Oldsters like me are sometimes wise with experience, yes, however, sometimes a younger person can give a fresh new spin on things. Personally, young people make me feel young, they remind me of my hippie days before I was jaded by life. Isn't happiness and well being the most important thing? I may not share every ones idea of how to do things, but everybody is different. For instance, the same medicine doesn't work the same for everyone with the same malady. That's why there are so many different medications to treat it.. So it stands to reason that there is more than one path to happiness. I want to use the path less traveled. I always have.
