And no one will employ us - yet they take on young inexperienced candidates who might spoil their system - guess they have to be given a chance - we had ours. True words - very good Gershon. Hugs, jennifer.

I like what you said: Each generation has its turn in the sun. It's my generation's time to give way to the next generations... although you'd never know it at the national level. (Trump, Biden, and Sanders are all in their mid-70's; Elizabeth Warren is 70). Go figure. Blessings, gw

As long as the mind is engaged in something constructive and beneficial, that in of itself is a blessing whether old or young. The old mind has experience and a wealth of knowledge to offer, even if the body is tired. Nice write.

Right on! Once you've accumulated the hard-won wisdom that comes from experience, you're turned out to pasture. A real shame. :) gw
