Advice
The only thing worse than being old and sick, is being old and sick and alone.
My advice is to put a very high priority on finding someone to grow old with.
I didn't do that. No one told me too. If they had, I would have probably ignored them.
I very rarely give advice. Mainly because it is a waste of time. No one listens to you.
Start listening. Learn from other people's mistakes. Most people don't even learn from their own mistakes.
Life is hard. It's harder if you are stupid.
If you are lucky enough to grow old then don't be unlucky enough to do it alone.
Blah blah. Etc. Etc.
Do whatever you want.
Agreed..... unfortunately the invasion of Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Edward Bernays, and Margaret Sanger DESTROYED the traditions of women taught be a wife, mother, and Homemaker, in exchange for protesting for their "rights", working, burning their bras, promiscuity, and abortion! And It's absolutely wrecked our country, children, and marriages!! And it's sad anymore that people have forgotten what sharing someone's life means. It's not about what's in it for ME, it's about pouring yourself out for someone else, and that can be a very beautiful thing.
I am single, but all of my friends who are widows always tell me that they would never remarry. They say that they are "done" taking care of someone. I think it would be nice to share life's journey and have a helpmate, it's challenging to find matches when you are older though. Take care and God Bless!
