    That I as a younger person questioned authority , didn’t believe what my parents said and thought I was indestructible. I wish that it was easier for the younger generation to learn the lessons of the elders but I think it is all about experience.

    that, believe it or not, we were young once too. while some of the issues may have changed, we also had to deal with much of the same things younger people of today are facing. and on the inside, we’re all still kids.

    That they too will resemble us, think like us, and act like us, if they live long enough.

    That they will also get old, like we did, and that someday their tattoos will look like crap.

    But on a brighter side, for the young guys, when you get old, young women will actually be friendly towards you. They will smile and say hello to you, and even carry on a conversation with you. That’s something, I’ll tell ya. That seldom happened when I was young. However, on a lower note, that in itself is an indication that you are getting old.

    That they will treat elders the way they want to be treat when they become elders.

    That we are still sensual Beings and all that includes.

    WELL…. LETS SEE NOW….

    I just wish they would finally REALIZE that we’re NOT AS
    STUPID as they want to give us CREDIT for being !!!!

    There’s a REMOTE POSSIBILITY that they could actually
    LEARN SOMETHING FROM US !!!!

    That WE were young once and it’s not always easy growing old. And that they will someday be older, too.

    That we are doing the best we can, but we’ve never been here before. We do have experience on our side when we voice our opinion. We are still learning. We really were young once. What you say is important and don’t stop visiting with us.

    We are human beings, got here the same way they did, lived in different generation, times change, our skin may be wrinkled and so will yours, hope we are leaving something for you to emulate ,we’ve still got hearts , feelings , and intelligence. You would do well to learn from us.
