    Letters: Life changes through the decades

    Life changes through the decades

    Dear Editor,

    This letter has a little bit for everyone. First, all of us that are born are condemned to die. We all must crawl before we walk. Our first years are the best in life, no responsibilities. As soon as you start school your worries start. You like to please teachers, parents, etc. We come with our own destination. The ones lucky to have good genes grow up healthy and enjoy long lives. The ones not so lucky that have to stumble through life living with the consequences. The ones that are given - they have a chance for a healthy life and they ignore it. Cigarettes, booze, and overeating. They are not content with a glass of wine; they have to drink a gallon destroying their lives. Good chance to die young. Abusing our body with the booze and drugs is looking for a short life. Most people go through grammar school, but when there is not an opportunity for higher education it is time to start learning wherever you can see your joys in life. Learn how to produce food; learn to be honest so that people can trust you. Find a good woman you can share the rest of you life. Be honest, keep your morals, and make your family follow your steps. By the 30s you should be mature enough to have control in your own destiny and that would be a great benefit to you, your family, and the world. By the 50s things start changing: losing your hair, losing your teeth, going bald, and the hair you have left turns gray. As long as you don't lose your sense of humor you still can continue enjoying life. With these qualities by the seventies you should be able to look back and be content with the way you navigated your life. When you get to the 80s it is a different story. Everything has to be right now or you will lose your appointments, forgetting dates. By then we have to think more about God as I start. We have been condemned and sooner or later it will be our last day. I enjoyed writing I hope you enjoyed reading it.

    Amadeu Lima, Hollister
