Wisdom

   The days of wine and roses, those days when all seemed fine. We, all of us miss those days, no matter your stripe, no matter who you are. What we all want most is happiness and contentment. It is what we've all really been looking for, no matter your age. In a word, Peace 

  World peace? Maybe don't shoot so high, because world peace is not in the cards. Besides, what can we do for world peace, it is beyond us. But us, we, our individual selves, this we can control. Outer space is beyond our capabilities, but our inner space, ourselves alone, that we can control. Inner peace is better than outer peace. Do you know why? Because you can't control the world, but you can control how you react to it. 

  And what about death? You know, how and when will it happen, And of course, then what? An eternal dirt nap, or a life beyond the constraints of this one, the one where there is no time, a world of eternity. A time when it won't make sense anymore to say, Youth is wasted on the young. Because in youth comes a young and strong healthy body, so generally speaking, who doesn't want to be healthy. But wisdom comes with age, there is no replacement for experience. 

  Death will come to us all, and when looked back upon, we will rejoice in the fact that now we have both, a perfect body, and wisdom for a drink whenever we want, The water of life in big gallon jugs! One of the saddest tales about the American way of life, is that we worship youth, and pay little mind to the Wisdom of years.
