Oh i will. rest assured.

i used to work at a cemetary in puyallup. that was a sobering expirience. i walked around the graves and looked at the ages of the people when they died. Look at the year it was. look at the people that came to visit them. very sobering. At 22 its hard to see death looming just around the corner. But to be 60 something and know that any day something could just quit, blow out, break. But yet to worry about it is the catch 22 isnt it. how can you enjoy life while your worried about it ending suddenly. I would mow those cemetary lawns all day atop a john deere, thinking about what it would be like to be older and know that your life is more than half over and you really didnt do squat. Just another ant on an anthill. To think that you only had so long to enjoy youth and the advantages it has. My Dad strangely has hammered this home for me. i can see it on his face when he has to quit early form working in the yard or outside. He hates not being able to work as long as he wants. or have the stamina he once had. He tells more stories now then ever about his younger days. stories i had never heard. Although i dont agree with the way my dad thinks sometimes i have enormous respect for him and the WISDOM he has. Very smart man. Sad to see how much he hates being older. From what i see and hear from this thread is: wisdom is not attained through age.


Nor is it attained from studying. its a rare thing that is had through understanding expiriences. You can have expirience...but if you dont understand the outcomes of those expiriences, or the "why" you will go on living and thinking the same way until the end of time. Proven in the last 100 posts by myself and others. interesting.

sorry if any one was offended. i never meant to be rude. some things come out wrong...more often than not with me

this has been a fun and entertaining thread...thanx a bunch guys
