14. though I am not retired

I have lived a long time in a town that has lots of retirees. One advantage to that has been that I live in a community where competition is not present very much. Most of the people are past that part in their lives so it does not wash over the community like so many others. It is a nasty energy but the one America is built on, unfortunately.

You never know who people are until you get to know them. The mega millionaire in town used to show up to the Democratic meetings in overalls - after a hard day's work. Fancy dress is cause for suspicion around here so there is no use judging anyone by those standards.

Don't know if this has been an issue for you but, men are pressured from childhood to become king of the mountain - win at the competition game, but it is so destructive to them and society. If this is what you have awoken from - good for you- the mountain as it turns out is really just a toxic waste dump. The winner is actually the one who learns to live in peace with him or herself.

Peace to you.
