THE DALAI LAMA SAYS THAT MAN "THEN DIES NEVER HAVING LIVED AT ALL" DON'T TRUST ANYONE UNDER THIRTY! POST 202

Hi!

This blogger is taking her life as she knows it in her hands with this blog. But it is REALLY TIME TO TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT AND CLEAR THE AIR.

GARBAGE STARTED IN THE SIXTIES ABOUT THE TIME DRUGS BECAME OKAY WITH THE YOUNG SO A LOT OF SLANG AS WELL AS CAUTIONS WERE PASSED AROUND AND ADULT MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY (PARENTS AND SUCH) WERE NUMBERED AMONG THE ENEMY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGE SMELLS THEY CLAIMED BUT FORGOT TO ADD IT IS LIKE A RARE CHEESE AGED BUT-DELICIOUSLY RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARENTS WERE SEEN AS OLD FASHIONED, INTENT ON HOLDING YOUTH HOSTAGE, AND COMPLETELY STUPID AT BEST AND CRAZY AT WORST.  THE WAR IN VIET NAM ENCOURAGED THESE IDEAS AND MILLIONS OF SO- CALLED HIPPIES  BOUGHT IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIPPIES TRANSLATED AS USERS WENT TO WOODSTOCK, NEW YORK AND  IN A FIELD FILLED WITH DAISIES, LEFT BEHIND  GARBAGE FOR OTHERS TO CLING TO AND GROW UP ON. THE YOUTH WHO WERE AT WOODSTOCK LEFT BECAUSE THEY  HAD MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO !!!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE STARTING PHRASES THAT WOULD INFLUENCE THEIR GENERATION AND GENERATIONS TO COME. AND SONGS THAT WOULD CEMENT THOSE PHRASES IN THEIR BRAINS..

THE  MOST DAMAGING TO THE GENERATIONS OF THE 70-80S WAS: DON'T TRUST ANYONE OVER 30 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  A TOUGH ONE SINCE 18 IS ONLY 12 years from 30. AND FOR MOST OF THEIR LIVES THEY FELT THE DOOM OF 30-BEFORE AND AFTER.

OH LORDY, LORDY HOW THE YEARS DO FLY AS MY G'MA USED TO SAY !!!!!!!!!

BUT THOSE GENERATIONS WERE SURPRISED. THEY WERE FAIRLY SPRY AT 30 AND A LOT OF THEM NOW HAD THEIR OWN FAMILIES, FELT THEY WERE MODERN (THAT MEANS NOT LIKE THEIR PARENTS) AND IT WAS A GOOD LAUGH TO LOOK BACK AT THEIR FEAR OF 30  !!!!!!!!!!! THE FEAR LINGERED HOWEVER.

UNFORTUNATELY, ALL THAT LAUGHING CAUSED THE LAUGH LINES TO DEEPEN AND LENGTHEN AND BY 40, THE LADIES WERE IN TEARS OVER HAVING REACHED  THAT DESPISED  CORNER OF THEIR LIVES !!!!!!!!!!!  'THE OVER 30' BUNCH OF OLD FOGIES BECAME 40 AND MORE AGING RAPIDLY APPROACHED. THEY WOULD SOON BECOME THE  LINEAR LADIES THEY HAD KNOWN AND REJECTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS CRISIS TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LINES ???????????? OH MY GOSH !!!!!!!!!!! WHAT TO DO???????? WHAT TO DO.

MEN AS WE HAVE ALL BEEN TOLD WHO HAD "MADE IT" TRADED IN THE 40S FOR TWO 20S.  OH WOE IS ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEN BELIEVED THE RHETORIC TOO !!!!!!!!!!! BY THE WAY, GENTLEMEN, YOU ALSO WERE TRICKED BY THE OVER 30  LIARS !!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FRENCH WEREN'T. THEY  KNEW OLDER WOMEN WERE SEXIER BECAUSE THEY WERE MORE GRATEFUL TO A MALE  WHO HAD BECOME MORE EXPERIENCED AT PROVIDING PLEASURE!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S YOUR FACE THAT'S RED!

AN INDUSTRY OPEN ONLY TO THE RICH AND LANGUID SPREAD AND THE LINES DISAPPEARED INTO SKIN TUCKS, BELLY TUCKS, FANNY TUCKS AND EVEN THE MEN WERE NOT IMMUNE TO GETTING "TUCKS".  WHAT A BOON FOR PLASTIC SURGERY, A DYING FIELD UNTIL THE "OLD CRONES" OF 40 CAME ALONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RECALL THAT  THOSE LUSCIOUS 20 YEAR OLD BODIES  LANGUISHED IN THE SUN IN AS LITTLE COVERING AS THE LAW ALLOWED TO TAN AND  DRY OUT IT ALSO MADE VEINS POP AS THOSE NUBILE YOUNGSTERS REACHED THE ANCIENT 40S.

OH MY, OH MY HOW THE DOLLARS FLEW INTO THE SURGEON'S POCKETS TO FIX ALL THE DEFAULTS THAT AGE COULD CAUSE.

BUT NOW--NOW TIME PASSED AS MY G'MA SAID IT WOULD, AND THE DECREPIT 40'S DEPARTED AND THE  50'S APPROACHED FOLLOWED BY THE LONG LIVED 60'S AND GUESS WHAT????????? THESE NEW "OVER 30'S" WERE LIVING LONGER AND COULD LOOK FORWARD?????????TO BEING100-120 OR  MORE. SO WHAT NEXT ?????????????

FOR THE SURGEONS???????????  MAYBE A WHOLE NEW BODY SUIT OF SKIN YOU ENTER LIKE A CLOTH BODY SUIT ??????????????? NEW HAIR, NEW EARS, NEW EYES OR JUST MAYBE AND THIS IS A REMOTE POSSIBILITY !!!!!! REINCARNATION ?????????????

PUH............LEEZE............GET REAL. - OKAY!!!!!!!!!!

AND AS IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!! THIS NEXT PIECE OF WISDOM ??????? WAS PUT IN PLACE BY THE ECONOMISTS !!!! THE LAST BIT OF GENERATIONAL DEMAND IS THAT YOU MUST GIVE UP THE HOME YOU LOVE AND REESTABLISH YOURSELF IN A TINY APARTMENT OR BUNGALOW THAT YOU CAN SOMEHOW MANAGE TO MAINTAIN IN YOUR DODDERING SIXTIES . AS YOU MOVE INTO THAT OLDER (GASP, WHINE- OR- GRASP WINE !!!!!!!!!!) AREA OF YOUR LIFE THE ONLY THING YOU CAN NOW POSSIBLY ACCOMPLISH IS TO TRAVEL, TRAVEL, TRAVEL AND MEET OTHER OLD PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO DO THE SAME. YOU ARE TOLD YOU MUST UNDERSTAND OTHER CULTURES--FOR WHAT REASON ??????????? TO DO WHAT ??????? WELL, YOU KNOW --IT'D  BE, LIKE,  IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  IT IS HOPED THAT THOSE FOLKS WHO BOUGHT INTO THIS GENERATIONAL NONSENSE WILL GROW UP ONCE AND FOR ALL AND DISCARD THE FOOLISHNESS OF YOUTH.

 THERE WERE THOSE WHO WERE WISE ENOUGH TO  PUT THE GENERATIONAL NONSENSE ASIDE, FORGOT AGE AND  SORTED THEIR LIVES OUT AS  THEY WANTED.  ONE CAN APPRECIATE THE PRODUCTIVE SATISFACTION AND WISE  LIVING ACTIONS THEY CHOSE.  THEIR LIVES  DEVELOPED BOTH EASILY AND NATURALLY AND THEY NOW  ENJOY THE STATURE OF AGE WITHOUT DOZENS OF FRIVOLOUS OPERATIONS AND  SUPPORTING THE USELESS FEAR, VANITY AND  TIME WASTED ON ATTEMPTING TO BE SOMETHING NOT EVEN CLOSE TO RESEMBLING THEIR YOUTH.

PERHAPS ALL OF THOSE  GENERATIONS CAN  BEGIN TO VALUE THE INNER CONTENTS OF THEIR BEING.  VALUE BRAINS MORE THAN LOOKS, VALUE ABILITY  AND CREATIVITY AND PARTICULARLY  CARING AND LOVE. THEIR ENJOYMENT CAN BE DERIVED FROM HAVING RAISED A FAMILY THAT NOW REAPS THE BENEFITS OF ENJOYING IT. THEY MIGHT (AND I KNOW THIS IS A REAL STRETCH) ACTUALLY FIND THAT AGING THOUGH PHYSICALLY DIFFICULT IS VERY REWARDING IN WAYS HERETOFORE CONSIDERED UNIMPORTANT "LIKE,  HEY MAN,  WISDOM--WOW! " OR BOOKS, ART, NATURE,  MUSIC THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE GYRATIONS AND A LITTLE HISTORY TO PUT ONE TO SLEEP.

IN SHORT, A RECOGNITION THAT ALL AGES OF OUR LIVES CAN BE BEAUTIFUL, BENEFICIAL AND HOLD LOVE,  SPIRITUAL WEALTH, AND ACCOMPLISHMENT. YES, THERE IS HEART RENDING LOSS THAT MAKES OUR BEING BOW TO THE PAIN BUT WHEN WE SURVIVE THAT PAIN, WE ARE AMAZED AT OUR COURAGE AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE ON INTO OUR LIVES.

WE ARE BEAUTIFUL FOREVER. WE AGE  TO ADD SO MANY FACETS OF OURSELVES THAT WE  WOULD NEVER KNOW EXISTED AND CERTAINLY DO  NOT KNOW  IN OUR YOUTH. WE BECOME IF WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO AGE WHAT WE STRIVE TO BECOME.. .....................COMPLETE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 THE BEST ADVICE THIS BLOGGER CAN GIVE IS "DON'T TRUST ANYONE UNDER 30." BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NUBILE, BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF JOY THEY ARE ALSO FULL OF THE GARBAGE THEY SPEW WITHOUT WISDOM, CARING, OR CONCERN.

THEY DO NOT KNOW, THEREFORE, THEY ACT LIKE THEY DO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU BUY IN THEN YOU LOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO YOU FOLKS IN YOUR FIFTIES, SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES STILL LIVING THE DREAM OF YOUTH--GIVE IT UP. TAKE ON THE DREAM OF  THE FREEDOM OF A BEAUTIFUL AND HAPPY AGING PROCESS IN WHICH YOU EARN  HUMILITY, KINDNESS, AND CONCERN AT A NEW AND HIGHER LEVEL.

 I'M GOING TO INCLUDE WITH THIS BLOG A QUESTION ASKED OF THE DALAI LAMA AND HIS ANSWER. HE SAYS IT ALL SO WELL !!!!!!!!!!!
  
ASKED WHAT SURPRISED HIM ABOUT HUMANITY, THE DALAI  LAMA ANSWERED.

"MAN.   BECAUSE HE SACRIFICES HIS HEALTH IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY. THEN HE SACRIFICES MONEY TO RECUPERATE HIS HEALTH. AND THEN HE IS SO ANXIOUS ABOUT THE FUTURE THAT HE DOES NOT ENJOY THE PRESENT; THE RESULT BEING THAT HE DOES NOT LIVE IN THE PRESENT OR THE FUTURE; HE LIVES AS IF HE IS NEVER GOING TO DIE, AND THEN DIES HAVING NEVER REALLY LIVED."

ENJOY THE AGED CHEESE WITH YOUR WINE. IT MAY BE AROMATIC BUT IT IS SOOOOO DELICIOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE
