I have decided, at the age of sixty, to take on the role of sage.
I don't necessarily qualify, per Merriam-Webster, but it WILL look good on my resume.
And here is my gleaning for today: Young people judge their lives against what they hope to be someday, Old people judge their lives against what they might have been...
Both are illusions.
The truth is, we are who we are and - warts and all - who we we are is sufficient.
That's from the Bible, but I lack the initiative to spell it out in a learned essay.
You're welcome.
