Antiques N Elders

It's What's under the hood that counts. Antiques are worth money- Like old things have much value. Knowledge and wisdom are the title's transferred. Only people are devalued with time. One day sit down and speak to an elder. Open up his chest -Find what out how he survived.... the death defying feat of growing old. Survived sickness cold . and wars. Living in poverty most times or how they struck gold. How they farmed the land. or survived a famine What secrets will they share? Realize he/ she, may have Forgotten things/That you never even knew... Info you will never know unless you sit and talk With an antiquated human. The Old Species are like antique cars ... It's under the hood that counts. If you are lucky and Blessed the elder may open up to you. Reveal real wisdom that you may store and use. If they read you as a fool They will shut down - Clam up and shut you out. And you will remain a fool- with another missed opportunity- and many more to come. And the secrets of the Elders will " to you" be lost forever. There is a reason he /she did not sign a transfer of his/ her-title over. Even with your sense of entitlement itching you. He did not will it to you - You being as an wreckless child the elder felt that You may kill yourself or others- with that transferred power. Believe me they know who and whom will be good stewards of their integrity. The ones who do the less harm- and the most good inherit equal shares.
