“Ageing is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been”
It's an elegant statement - that said I don't know if it's actually true - some people become worse with age, a wizened version of their existing faults. Their brokenness becomes set even harder But yes the passing years can take the edges of, make you kindlier. I'm still waiting for serenity though.
Wow, that's quite an insight.

ReplyDeleteYes, true, it should be something like "at it's best, ageing..."
ReplyDeleteI'm going to misquote Jung who said something like; middle age is where one becomes fine wine or vinegar.
ReplyDeletethat's a good one
