My Mom sent me this quote today:

The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted
thirty years of his life.

–Muhammad Ali

Well. Hmm. If a difference in perspective were the only criterion for confirming I haven’t wasted 23 years, then I’m cool. I definitely see the world differently. But wait, maybe I see the world more cynically, negatively … Does that mean I’ve wasted those years?

I have to think this over. Get back to you.
