What nonsense it is to think that just because people get old suddenly they become nice. I heard today a person described as a nice little old lady and this women was three years younger than me. Now one thing I would never call myself is nice. Nice is an insipid thing. Nice is normally achieved though pharmacological intervention or the participation of emptying wine bottles. The other method of achieving nice is to use self hypnosis of a Deity that will make everything fun and yes you got it, nice.
I am happy to say that as I get older I still have a fire roiling in the centre of my being that is inflamed by all that I see. Stupid particularly stirs up the embers and I seem to be seeing more and more of it every passing day. Thinking by committee can make me blow flames as it is normally the most stupid person that everybody is scared of offending, that gets their way and normally that way is wrong as they actually are as stupid as they fear they are.
I suppose as you get older you are not afraid of voicing your opinion and that is considered cantankerous.
In counter balance,
I still have burning passion for the things that I like and do. I appreciate beauty with a whole lot more respect than I did when I was young. I find beauty in so many more things as well.
So in conclusion, don't become nice, strive to have passion in all you say and do. You can still be kind, amazing and awesome as long as you do it with your whole heart.
Namaste
