I've been given a great advantage in growing older, and any issues that may arise, are dealt with accordingly. I first grew to the age of 24 years, then that life abruptly ended, and I had to start all over again. Issues that I have confronted, and continue to confront every day I clearly understand, while knowing damn well nothing can be taken from me, that I do not freely give. I know it pisses the hell out of the left, has I do not fall into their trap of the selection process. According to their selection, discrimination, a man suffering with permanent disabilities ought to be crying for help, and hanging onto their apron strings. I've suffered being locked up, terrorized, and intimidated has a POW, and they think I'm going to suck up to them, so taxpayer dollars can be used to pay their factions of support. NO! I clearly see why I must confront issues to live an independent life, and I'll be damned if I supply their independence with taxpayer dollars. wow

bob1959: As you become older does the world around you and the issues you confront on a daily basis seem more black and white (clear right and wrong) or are there more gray areas? Things are not as clear as they used to be to me it seems. Open mindedness seems to lead to less clear cut right and wrong. Your views anyone?


Maybe you're not getting older but rather growing wiser. "Black and white, I defined such things, quite clear no doubt somehow/But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." - Bob Dylan, 1964

Definitely agree with you. I am more focused on me. Maybe that sounds selfish..but I don't feel selfish. This is the only time in my life that I have felt I am number one. Not the husband (ex) not my children, not my career. But me. The outside world and issues are fairly distance in my personal life. Sitting by the lake and watching nature unfold is more important. Mortality looms nearby, hopefully not for awhile. But the carefree days of youth are long gone. I just want to absorb what my world presents to me.
