I have a somewhat puzzling relationship with ageing.
I hope that I'm a bit more worldly wise than I was say, two or three decades ago, but I never look back and compare distinct ages with the present. I think that most people will have more life events than me on which to pin a particular age, so perhaps that has something to do with it. There's been a few knocks and bruises and occasions when the effluvia has interfaced with the air conditioning, but broadly speaking nothing significant that I can nail down to a definite age. As for learning by experience,* well I've always been aware of the risks of acting in haste, consequences of actions etc, and that awareness becomes more acute by the year. Can timidity be far behind? *Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. (Oscar Wilde)
