If you live long enough you will know a few things
almost as well as you know your own name.
You will for example know that many, maybe even most
days the sun will come out tomorrow; day follows night; death and taxes are
inevitable. Life no one gets out alive and you will meet good and not so good
people in the course of your life.
If you live long enough you will truly have outlived
most, if not all, of your friends. You will also have outlived almost everyone
you liked and disliked. That is why you will have learned that there really is
a time and a season for everything.
You might also realized that there is enough time to do
a lot of the things you really want to, but, possibly not enough time to stop
dreaming of something you might yet like to do. That is, if you are enjoying
living.
Live long enough and you will have learned that money
won’t buy you love. Money also won’t buy you time or happiness.
Live long enough and you may have learned a lot about what
your priorities were, could have been, should have been, might have been other
than what they were.
Live long enough and you might have learned how to
live, love and be happy. I hope you do, just as I hope I live long enough to
learn this the most important thing I need to live long enough to learn.
