This one makes me smile; so profound and philosophically deep!

Oh, I don't know about how deep it was, but it struck me as something I needed to think about. Thanks, Caren.

Interesting notion, Milt. I know what the past thinks of most former ‘know it all’ teenagers... ‘What became of that moron?’ Regards, Terry

I think that's probably true, Terry. Thanks for your read and your comment.

Oh, this is good, Milt. How rare to have such awareness. All-time question too. A FAVE right away! Awesome, Gershon

Food for thought Milton, People always talk about the good old days, and people today may refer to this time as the good old days in the future

So true, Joseph. I wonder what we would think if we could go back with future-vision; how would we see the times we are living in? I don't know. Certainly differently.

I used to believe that our ancestors' world was better; now, I'm not sure if our actual way of life is any different and enjoying life. I enjoyed reading your Ninette, and I like the form too. Thanks for sharing, Milton
