WOMB to TOMB

 ALL OF US WILL AGE FROM YOUNG TO OLD THEN DIE...

**********

Some of us will be poor

Some of us will be wealthy but a

Vast majority of us will be middle class...

whatever the hell that means financially.

The average annual income in America is about $50,000/individual so  a married couple or two people combing their incomes would be looking at $100,000...  almost of which is spent not saved for a RAINY DAY or for RETIREMENT...

<<<<<<<<<<<:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::>>>>>>>>>>>

As we age from youth to middle age to becoming a senior citizen, our values and sometimes our morals change as we develop different civil and religious perspectives.  These perspectives change what we perceive as being right ort wrong and how we live our lives and treat our fellow citizens; unfortunately, as we age we move into a minority even if we are a majority because we are no longer either trying to build or end our careers...

What is interesting here is the fact that time moves FORWARD not BACKWARD so all of us will eventually become older and older and older until we die...  and, no matter whether we were wealthy, poor, or in between will matter to anyone let alone to ourselves...

Some of us will try and build and name buildings after our name in the hopes of preserving our legacy but gradually over the years, family members will forget and not remember and if there are young grandchildren at the time of one's death, once they reach middle age they will not remember at all, even after looking at photographs...

So, why do we spend so much time trying to make a name for ourselves or try to convince the rest of the world that our life had meaning and/or purpose...

How many people really care about former President Thomas Jefferson?

Not many at all outside of our History Books.

But, what about the fact that Jefferson OWNED SLAVES...

Most every Black Person in America knows that...

HOWEVER, what does it matter now that he is DEAD?

It matters to the black folks and those who are descendants of SLAVES but outside of that connection, it really does not matter and it will not change what I decide to do with my life nor does it stop the passing of time or prevent me from becoming OLD.

AGING is not a mystery is it a FACT of life with which we all must contend regardless of how our lives are led and what we accomplished or do not accomplish...
