Two different animalsj

Such wisdom ... about these two strange species ...

Experience is an opportunistic teacher... Ely

Excellently put. Maybe as we get older, ageing together means we have more experientially in common, and therefore more easily accept the inability to change what ageing brings.

Oh, aye...I agree...that
Recognising the futility
of trying to change what most likely  
attracted us in the first place...
turns out to be...
a priceless piece of knowledge...
don't you agree? Ely

However, what we can change is our perception.

Oh very well put, dear Baba...although...I believe with more difficulty than one might expect. h4u. Ely

Looking at things differently opens many a door ... but I find it hard to do genuinely, rather than 'forcing it'. I guess it needs a real "aha" moment from deeper down in one's consciousness.

It's amazing what a different perspective can do...if we're bright enough to consider the...possibility ... h4u, Ely

Yes...if you feel the need to try and change someone...best say goodbye. Nice write, Ely.
Cheers...Harry

Many thanks Harry...nice to.be appreciated... I think there are those who have a need to re-arrange the lives of others Hugs, Ely

Accept or go....if you can accept the solitude.

Some seem to thrive in the arms of solitude...
