Listen to episode 1157 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Benefits of Growing Older. Edited and adapted from Essays of an Optimist by John William Kaye.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: One of the great advantages of age is that we are not wont to disturb ourselves by doing things that we do not like, simply for the look of the thing. There is absolute misery in pretentiousness of all kinds, and youth is infinitely more pretentious than age. There are some people who never outlive their vanity; but, as a general rule, it may be maintained that the longer we live, the less we care what others think of us, and the less we strive after effect. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
