I find it a fallacy
to respect hands
that feed, but also
remind you of your
dependency.
these hands do
not desire your
improvement, as
without you they
would become
obsolete.
never have I regarded
age with any degree of
admiration, as even the
wisest man will tell you
years eventually outgrow
one's capacity for wisdom.
you'll meet more insane
old people than you'll meet
young, and when you stop
to question them only the
young will have an answer.
to this end,
age is no
pedestal,
no right.
it is as much a display
of plenty as it is an
example of it, and that's
all I've really got to say
right now.
