Some statements that manage to find their way onto the printed page are so funny you simply have to roll over laughing. For instance: “What your underwear says about you.” Please feel free to think that it says nothing, statement maker. Leave us and our underwear alone. Sometimes we choose this style and color; sometimes we choose that style and color. Can’t it be that simple? Don’t waste your time reading any more into it than that. It sometimes seems all so comical.
“First born kids make better CEOs?”- “Older Children than average had a slightly higher IQ than their siblings.” Birth order – it is what it is. Older children, middle children, younger children can all contribute nicely to the whole scheme of things. Why is so much time spent researching this? Have some researchers run out of things to do in the world? Some CEOs have done a splendid job of running a company into the ground. Maybe before any questions are asked about how and why they managed that, we might want to first address the all-important question of birth order – if it’s that important.
I suppose that what’s on my mind is this: In our world aren’t there many other kinds of questions that need answering?
“What kind of nursing home do you want to live in when you’re old?” Some statement makers make it seem as though we naturally head for a nursing home when we’re old. It puts a kink in the process of aging by insinuating the last stop is a nursing home. For some, yes; for others, no. Old and nursing home don’t have to go hand-in-hand. Christiane Northrup once said: “Happy, healthy, dead.” That sounds good to me.
Let’s wait and see, and in the meantime, prepare to live a happy and healthy full life. Oh yes!
What a lovely day; let’s all enjoy. And remember there are those times when you just have to roll over laughing.
