Reversal of Fortune
I have reached a time and space where so many things I was told as a child, and which I readily disregarded as rubbish, now appear to be abundantly true. Had I been more insightful; had I been more attentive and accepting, one can only imagine how differently my allotted time on earth would have been used and how much greater value my existence would have realized.
The children listen with eyes wide open. But by the time they have begun to reach the status of adulthood, the eyes glaze over whenever anyone not of their own generation makes any kind of suggestion about life and living.
It seems humans have always been that way.
Apparently, we are intent upon continuing to always be that way.
"I used to consider that all of the talk and opinions of life, love, and happiness were nothing more than words spewed forth by those who were running away from their own lives. But, as in all things, we wake up one day and realize that the information we've ingested actually holds some weight within our own lives." --Edward B. Toupin, Ph.D.
My Christmas Wish for the young people of today is for wisdom to come to them at a very early age. If they take most of a lifetime to gain wisdom, as have their predecessors, time may not allow them to reverse the fortune we predecessors have laid upon their shoulders.
