he human being is such a perplexing creature. May and December are two aspects that make it hard to trust one another. The unknown motive behind our actions and interests is what brings out the most cautious reserve in us, and yet deep inside we just want to break away and tear it up. Those moments where we feel that it’s time- no really it’s time, trigger making us want to take the risk and go for it. A walk on the beach for a woman, with a man 20 years her junior, is better than one with the mate she has now, who is blind to her needs any more. The middle aged man just now coming into his own mortality, becomes preoccupied with his anger at the whole world, and besets himself with the opinion; “They obviously don’t know who they’re dealing with.” convincing himself that this is why no one understands him and he is so unhappy. So;
Why is it we knock on doors that we really shouldn’t?
- Because, (we can’t help ourselves), we really do want to see what’s on the other side.
What’s in it for the younger man who looks to an older woman, and what compels him to bark up the Oak tree instead of chase a sapling?
- Maybe he’s just tired of having to work so hard through the process of elimination.
Why would an older woman walk with a younger man?
- She gets the attention she wants, without the argument.
Why do we accept defeat, before we even begin the fight?
- Because we’re insecure and lazy.
Why is “Taboo” so irresistible?
- Because going after it is so much fun, and we feel more alive when we do.
Why do we look in the mirror, and then run away?
- Denial.
Where did all the sensible ladies go, and where did all the gentlemen go?
- The ladies became desperate, thus eliminating the need for gentlemen.
What happened to that warm cozy feeling we once had?
- We listened to everyone else, and forgot who we were.
Why are our pets our new children?
- Because our children grew up, moved away, and had children of their own.
Why do we fear getting old so much, when we were in such a hurry before?
- Because we finally saw what was on the other side of the door.
Why do people who shouldn’t be in power, always end up in power?
- Because it’s easier to say yes, than no to something that sounds too good to be true.
Where’s all the humanity we promised each other, and when are we gonna pay up on that?
- Well, I’m waiting.
