A Good Gps

I’m recalling how intelligent my father became, as he grew older; things he said one day just seemed to make sense to me. And when he was really old, he told me: “Son, don’t ever get old...” then he smiled, and began a new journey some day I will follow. Of course, old is different for everyone: many born in war-torn countries, or those raised in urban ghettos never have a chance to be young. So, old is sort of where they start—which may be why, some people born to poverty, if they finally make it out, begin to work their way backwards; becoming foolish with their money, and self destructive with their time… I guess, in the end what really matters is not where one comes from, but where one is...which is why, in our modern society, a good GPS is a wise investment….
