Older & Wiser

Its always better to face disappointment earlier than later.

Better to be derailed early in the journey when expectations are moderate than much later on when the train has gathered momentum and expectations are moderate.

Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is simply ignorance.

I thrive on information and in the abscence of being fully informed, one must form a conclusion. Silence is not without its own implications. My granny would say "silence is content"... I say "silence is the coward's reprieve."

Being older and wiser means that I am able to spot cowards earlier. Maybe my sagaciousness arises out of my own cowardice and apprehension to further distress. If so be it, call it a coping mechanism and we are even.
