wooddog Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I like that as I get older (currently 59) I am starting to "get it." The things that my father, grandfather and other important people of my life told me " You'll understand someday" are beginning to make sense.

RangerTrace Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yes sir. Seems a little unfair. About the time your start to get it and are financially secure, life is about over..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad, practically on his death bed, told me to do the things I want while I’m young, even if it means going into debt. His reasoning was, when you’re young you have your health but no money and when you’re older you have money but could lose your health.

konkapot Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 For me it's Getting Older and Reflecting. I don't feel that I truly understand some things still. The other side of the coin for me is that when I was "young" or younger, it's not like I was an idiot. Some things are only "understandable" with a large enough data set. For me, a lot of life is context. There are times when I wish I had taken a different career path. But then I remind myself that 21 year old me would have HATED that, so,, at THAT time in my life that would not have been a good job.

wooddog Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 The old adage that youth is wasted on the young makes perfect sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 If only we had that kind of understanding when we were 25. Better yet, we should have listened and tried to understand then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
