trying to live in the wholeness of my life- past, present and future
This is a powerful statement.
So true, and to to give respect to everyone's time here on earth, no matter their age, their health or possition. Our memories, past experiences and life should not be forgotten or muted, looking back doesn't harm anyone.
If some are less advantaged it makes them no less important in my eyes than some who are advantaged in different areas, I see it in some of the virtue signalling of stop being miserable or morose, look forward and forget, get out there and stop whinning, where sometimes this is not possible.
Conversation shut down by flippant comments that crush, I in later years enjoy debate, listening to people who have more sense than I, debates on independant thought.
If someone who is old, infirm or broken by events of the past it does not to me mean they are less than, they just become more interesting, I do think society tries to shut down the older generation especially women from talking.
I treat everyone the same, always have done, no one is better than another, we are but stardust, I love the insignificance of us as humans as I gaze up to the stars, we will return to dust so our time here on earth should not be dictated by how we should think and act, so long as we do not hurt others. Our memories are as important as we care to make them, we live and let live, we are only restricted by societies expectations of what we should do and how we sould be thinking.
Do and feel what makes you happy, at our age we deserve to be indulgent.
