Growing Old

Posted by Hyman Weeks

There are tons of things that I know now that I wish I had known when I was young. With age comes wisdom and experience but you don’t always have the energy to carry out the things you want to do. In a way it doesn’t seem fair because when you are young you have tons of energy but not a lot of wisdom and certainty and when you are old you have a lot of wisdom but no energy. I guess things happen for a reason, if old people had a lot of energy they would probably cause more trouble throughout the world. There are some great advantages that come with getting old. For instance, you are able to sleep all day as you once did when you were a small child, you are not forced to go to work all day as you once required to do, and for the most part you have the money to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. Last night I was on the phone with one of my life-long friends. During the conversation he was telling he about a trip he’d recently taken and he also mentioned direc tv. Which only reaffirmed my belief that older people are always wiser.
