in reply to @scottrl Yes, I agree, I actually like Carl Jung better. Are you familiar with his "afternoon of life" commentary? I have it posted on my wall. Good stuff.

I agree, Jung is much more down-to-earth.

His "Afternoon of Life" stands out in stark contrast to what we see today -- not just an obsession with youth, but an obsession with childish behavior by adults. (Look how popular man-child movies are; I find them intolerable.)

It's like the song "I Won't Grow Up" from Peter Pan is the new national anthem.

The phrase I heard in my youth about maturity was "Learn, Earn, Return" -- and now that I'm in the last of those stages myself, I feel a definite calling to share my experiences with others.

But people aren't exactly champing at the bit to listen. After all, what could some disabled old geezer possibly have to say?
