26. Right.

I took a look at the OP/thread you linked to above. While I did not read the entire discussion, my initial thoughts focused on how at different ages, with different experiences, we view things differently. And that's a good thing generally. If a person thinks exactly the same at age 60 as they did at age 30, they likely wasted about three decades of life. That seems to apply to relationships. (The Irish laugh at what we call a "Catholic divorce," where people remain in the same household out of habit, despite living separate lives.)

I've always liked the manner in which Malcolm X responded to those attempting to attack him based upon his past. He not only never denied who he had been in his troubled past, but used it to his advantage. And then he used that to turn the tables upon his opposition.
