ARE WE EVER OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER? |
|
One of the great mysteries of life is why we continue to err right up to the point where we eventually get dying right.
In a perfect world, wouldn't life be all about making mistakes until you learn not to make them?
Just this morning, I made the same silly mistake I've made maybe two dozen times now. Without leaving me open to the ridicule I deserve, let's just say it involved a computer and a too-quick-on-the-trigger send button.
And that wasn't my only stupid mistake today.
Here I am, age 72 (going on 110 or 40, depending on how the weather treats my arthritis) and I'm still stumbling through life, often making the same mistakes I made just the day before.

We are all in the same boat.

2. Mistakes are a part of life. |
|
We're ok as long as we can continue to find new and improved mistakes to make.
At 72 you get to make mistakes you didn't make at 22.

I certainly hope not. I grew slowly into maturity and found I really didn't care for it. Will be 61 this summer,retired last May, and I'm treasuring every hour of this time of life.
I hope I never again "grow up" - I really hated it. Have a great day. Mark
