and... for some reason, we are always disappointed because today never or hardly ever unfolds like we wanted it to...
Therefore... we never fully appreciate the life that we have been given... and life was given to each and every one of us without our consent... although, we never look at it from that perspective... but, none of us chose to be given life... and yet, life we were given.
Why do you suppose that is?
After living my life for 74 years plus the nine months I was in the womb, I am glad that I was given life even though I have not really accomplished much of anything.
- I have lived overseas
- I am a Vietnam Veteran
- I did survive the 1960's
- I did graduate from college
- I did get married twice
- I am a father
- I did work for 45 years
- I did write a lot of stuff
- I have been on numerous cruises
- I am debt-free
- I did save enough money for retirement
- I am a cancer survivor
I am not wealthy and have never been wealthy and I am glad or rather fortunate that I am not wealthy because I don't think I would be very good at being wealthy as I would always want to give it away to those who did not have much.
That is not a good personality to have if someone is wealthy... even though it is the right thing to do.
All of my tomorrows arrive when I am sleeping as they are always here, without fail, when I awake... and, the older I get the faster my days seem to pass by... so much so that I constantly find myself telling people I never have a bad day.
To some degree, we are all biased and that is probably because of the way we were raised and the influence on us from those who raised us or taught us in school. We are biased because of our experiences whether they were negative or positive or a combination of both. Age causes us to be biased because we no longer have to listen to all the shit that we are being told. And, we are biased because of our race and our gender regardless of how strong we try to deny that is the case.
It is because of all of this, that todays hardly ever or seldom unfold as we wanted them to unfold.
