A critical time in my development has arrived and although it came too late for some it might just be in time for me. I have of late come up with the phrases: The stick is getting shorter and everyone has an expiration date. The latter being one that most of us are extremely hesitant to face but we all know that we lose friends, lovers, significant others, spouses because of a host of reasons. Usually it’s because we have changed our growth pattern from the ‘other’ and in a sense we seem like we have become bored or lost interest. I know in my case it might seem that I get bored easily but I am not that high maintenance. It could be that I have a short attention span. Yeah maybe that’s it. I also know that I am Mr. Magoo and can’t see the things as plain as day like the fingerprints all over my computer screen that I didn’t put there. And that can be disconcerting to some and the fact that I am constantly losing things because I don’t keep my head where my feet are.
I for the time being am going to let go what some will call Jack’s character defects and still others that will hate me because of their own belief systems. Going forward no more obfuscation and that includes everyone even those that have an expiration date.
I suspect that people don't really change very much throughout their lives. They fine tune their
ReplyDeletepersonality traits but rarely abandon them. As a function of the process of maturation and or aging on the surface ones behavior becomes more acceptable . But, what is brewing internally may in fact be life long patterns. In other words we are what we are, accept it or not.
