Yes, that is exactly what I mean. Why am I here? Why have I decided, that at almost 50 years old, I now have a need to share the things that have been the most private of all things to me?
It is all very simple, yet complex.
When I went to college I had a class called ECE1 or Early Childhood Education. I am sure many of you have had this class. But one thing it touched on was mental phases of life. It absolutely concentrated on early childhood. But to put it into perspective, they did skirt over all of the phases we go through. Most of them happen early in life, but most of the important ones happen later in life. Which brings me to my point. It is called validity.
Validity, is where we start to "pre" reconcile (reconcile is the another phase). Basically, what it means, is as we get older, we start to think about all the things we have done in life. We start to question whether we have been worthy of the life we have been givin. We start to realize that we don't have forever to be good in life, or be successful, or be advisarial. So we kind of go into a panic about how we can do "good" before we "go".
One of the best ways to start to understand how we can make ourselves feel better about "giving back", is to share the knowledge we have learned. We know at this age that our knowledge has value, and if we can share that, then we feel more worthy.
Very few things are as satisfying as when someone uses your advice well, and gives it respect.
This is why Old Farts are in the business of handing out advice even when no one is asking for it, cuz we want to feel better. So next time when you are standing there listening some old dude yawning on about how he used to skin up an old coon, just remember you will be there someday spreading your crap around to someone who doesn't want to hear it.
So, why are you here?
please post
bye for now
