The saying goes, a year older, a year wiser.
Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to MOST people.
Often, I witness regression instead. It's almost like, the older someone gets, the sillier they become.
How is that?
For starters, I believe there actually is evidence that it stems from dissatisfaction in their achievements.
I don't have any empirical data on this, since I'm not doing any research at the moment, but if a person have lived his/her life to the best of their ability, given their circumstances and they have a clear conscience, then THERE IS NO NEED to over-live their life by doing silly things like abandoning their family for a cheap whore on some remote island or third world country OR loosing the little value they have left and blowing it on expensive hookers and demeaning sex.
No matter how we look at things, at the end, in the end....MORALITY does count.
I'm no nun and not a pastor.
So MORALITY to me means, to have some humility in how we behave.
I have always said that one cannot be 'high class' or 'blue blood' or 'well-bred' if one isn't - this is genetics - you either are or are not.
So instead of trying to be someone you can never be, try being yourself...
Have a direction to arrive at - make it something any random can be proud of....
I have read terrible news about people recently - all caught on camera - people believe they have succeeded just because they are better dressed than an old man.
When a person ages, its not shameful - it's what happens to EVERYONE.
We should extend courtesy, to those who have lived before us and respect LIFE so that when we do get there, LIFE doesn't do a KARMA on us.
Life may seem to be great for us now, but we should and must never take it for granted, for what is given can be taken away.
Let's bow our heads and be humble for the many goodness and blessings that we have.
