Sunday Funnies - Sometimes I Just Sits.

Perhaps we don’t age until we get wise. If we remain stupid we also stay young.

Being old really is a state of mind. It’s the mind that tells you how old to feel. The one element that keeps the mind happy and vibrant is learning. A favorite of all axioms is “Learn something new every day.” That attitude seems to keep the mind open and ready and alert.

So age must be relative somehow to wisdom. Consider the two common phrases often used in describing the self: “Young and Stupid” or “Older and Wiser.” Perhaps we don’t age until we get wise. The "seen it all" and the "been there, done that" and the "seen one, seen 'em all" crowd are old AND boring.

When one has learned it all, when one doesn’t care to experience something new, the doors close, the communication ends, the mind goes inactive. That's old.

I can’t be that old because I’m not that smart.

Sometimes I sits and thinks. Sometimes I just sits.
