Default Re: Profound thought for us codgers

I'd like to think I'm growing into a much grayer realm that's neglected by that sentiment. I believe that I can be a healthy cynic (or maybe skeptic is a better word) without a lot of anger, but a high degree of tolerance. While 'joy' largely escapes me, I'm OK with that. To me, 'too much' acceptance suggests surrender.
