Even with an unknown amount of time ahead of me, I often think about time I have wasted in the past. It's just part of the healthy process of growing old I think. How much you dwell on that stuff is where it shifts from healthy to unhealthy. Time just goes by so fast. Even more so as you get older. I was filling out a survey the other day and I had to stop for a second when it got to the part about age and I realized there was only one category above where I am right now and about five categories below. Talk about a punch in the gut!
I agree, and probably that acknowledgement of it leads to a better use of it from that point. Enlightenment often comes late, and for some not at all.
Indeed, you should know better, of course. 😀 You talk of enlightenment as though you'd be a heroic Jedi (which you obviously are not). You should talk about Sith, you seem on par with many elements of their sadistic and cruel nature.
Age is a mere number... Sometimes one should not be that concerned with it. It's the mood inside which can make you younger even at a physically heightened age, so to put it. The essential is to always be thankful, loving, and nice to the right people in life (and to give a little bit when you can as well). Many blessings and all the best! 🙂
I definitely feel more like a kid than I do an adult a lot of times. I know I probably have fewer years in front of me than I do behind me though.
That's wonderful! The secret of genius is to take care of the inner child/kid and bring it with him in the adult age/or heightened physical age (old is sometimes a term which does not resonate with me when describing this). That's brilliant and this is the way that it should be. Feeling like a kid in adult age is the mark of a genius, so you should be proud of it, certainly! Many blessings and plenty of beautiful experiences here and beyond!
