MANCHESTER, N.H. -- An elderly New Hampshire man is accused of stabbing his 81-year-old roommate in an argument over the volume on their television.
I read this the other day and thought about how anger can make us do stupid things. I guess the good thing about getting older is we just don’t have to care about other peoples opinions as much as we used to. However, I think there has to be a better way to decide about the volume on the TV.
Part of the aging process is the loss of flexibility, both physically and psychologically. Not only do I periodically find pain in places that I didn’t know could hurt, but I also find my level of patience with things is not as long. I sometimes have lengthy not so nice evaluations for people who drive crazy, walk without looking where they are going or simply act in obnoxious ways.
Fortunately, these moments pass quickly as I truly believe life is to short to waste time being upset.
I think this is a good prayer for the aging process:
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do,
And the eyesight to tell the difference.
Just Say'n
