We all are human and have limited sight into the consequences of our wishes in life. God always has chosen better for us, That is my belief.

The appendix is a good one. Actually our middle class lives provide probably a quality of living our ancestors would have envied. Anyway… bout the wise lady: I’d have though she’d slap you for telling in a way, she’s old. She’s very clever.

I can’t agree more!

I used to work with a Program Manager who was always reminiscing about the Civil War. He really believed he was born in the wrong era and would voice his wishes. So, one day I walked into his office and he was a little more outspoken than usual and I stated “So, you wish you were dead?”

He returned with “What do you mean by that comment?”

And I responded with “Remember your Appendix surgery 4 months ago? Back in the mid-1800â€™s, people died painful deaths from appendicitis. So, you wish you were dead?”

He shut-up after that round.

It’s interesting how the things we wish for can have hidden consequences that we didn’t realize at the time we desired them.

Being “older and wiser” or just “old” according to my youngest 26 year old Son, I believe I can safely say that older does not necessarily make us wiser.

It does make most of us arrogant, unyielding and very opinionated but hey, we disserve it from the crap we went through raising our kids.

Your new found ‘friends’ understand more about you after a 1 minute observation than you give them credit for.
