Aging Philosophers

As we age, most of us become more philosophical.  After all, we have a lifetime of experiences to fuel our thoughts, opinions and beliefs.  Among these are a mix of joy, pain, success, failure, love and heartache, to name but a few.

Many aging philosophers keep their thoughts and opinions to themselves while others, myself included, feel obliged to express them.  What better way to share the human experience?  Our personal view of life may or may not reflect truth but it is our contribution to the ongoing evolution of our species.

At the very least, it seems best to share our philosophy with our children and grandchildren.  Indeed, it is the most enduring gift we have to offer.
