Middle Age

Truly intelligent people are inclined to admit what they don’t know, and truly stupid people are inclined to think they have all the answers.

The truth is I still look at other old people and see them as old. That negative characterization is ageism.

My new influencer could be a chubby seabird with greasy feathers that can’t fly. Yes, I’m lowering my expectations.

I could be wrong about everything. It’s a liberating idea. Righteousness is trendy. It feels like rebellion to freely admit my ambivalence.

Thinking on the grid extrudes new information so it looks a lot like the old information I already think I know.

Learning how to deal with a midlife crisis was challenging, not unlike the other seminal events of midlife, menopause and sexual dysfunction.
