I Don't Think You Should Exploit Your

I Don't Think You Should Exploit Your Own Pain.

I Still Know I Have An Awful Lot To Learn, And I Hope I'm Put In Whatever Situation It Is That's Gonna Help Me Learn It, Or That I'll Get To Watch Really Good People Do What They Do.

I Get Very, Very, Very Irritable With People Who Complain About Getting Old, Because I Know A Lot Of People Who Would Gladly Trade Places With Us. I'm Not Saying It's Easy, I'm Not Saying It Doesn't Hurt Your Feelings, I'm Not Saying It's Not Painful - And Physically As Well As Mentally And Spiritually - And It's Frightening At Times. However, People Have Really Lost Perspective, And It's A Really Bizarre Topic Of Conversation That It's Become A Cultural Peg In Our World That Aging Is A Bad Thing. It's Not Logical To Me.

I Am Very Lucky, Because For The Most Part People Are Very Nice To Me, And I Am Still Able To Go About My Life And Ride The Subway And All That.

I Don't Want To Spend My Life In My 40s Feeling Bad About Being In My 40s, And Then All Of A Sudden I'm 50, And I Will Have Missed A Whole Decade!
