Do you value wisdom? I DO!!
Listen Up, and Remember It well, then Live it, and Ultimately, TEACH IT!!
Or Forget it, Because without our Elders we are absolutely Powerless and Nothing at All!!!!!

"I'm 76 and I'm Tired"
-----------------
I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honour"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..
I'm tired
of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I'm really tired
of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's bedeck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un-employable and claiming money from the Government.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 76.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and her children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.

A Word from the Desk of Carl Vitale.
Our Elders are our most valuable asset to learning where we need to be going in life.
They have already walked that road path, the bumps, the crossroads, etc.. You name it
they have lived it.
We need to learn from it, but most never will because they forgot how to listen (if they ever learned)
Time to Grow up America, Step to the Plate or shut up and sit down, but do not swing at an uncertain pitch and strike out because we already have 2 Outs in this ending, and Its the Last Ending.
The game is Life, the field is the world, and we are the Athletes playing the game. Its do or die. This is not Not your normal game, as a Matter of Fact, it is not even a Game. This counts for ever, and ever, and ever with no end ever, and ever, and ever.. Please let that register deeply within the spirit of your Mind, please!
No this time this game is for Eternity. If you strike out, it counts against the entire TEAM.

We had better begin to VALUE our Elders, to Honor, to Cherish, to Listen, to Obey their Admonitions Or we might as well throw in the Towel and forfeit our Eternal Destiny and accept the defeat.
Problem with that is our Destination changes from Heaven, to Eternal Separation from G-d, Forever, In the Lake of Fire, where death and hell are going to be thrown to suffer eternally as well. Sound like a party now??
Turn around friend, you've been walking the wrong pathway. Repent now, Walk circumspect and in a straight line. Walk in the straight and narrow path, for THAT PATH, leads to Eternity with G-d and everlasting life. Few have found it, now its being offered to you to walk in it.
If I were you, I would take the opportunity afforded me right now and begin waking in the straight narrow path no matter how uncomfortable it may be (OH IT WILL BE)
Your other Option: the Broad pathway, many find it, no one ever makes it to the other side of Glory because it is an escalator going down. I know you know where the escalator takes you now, don't you? Yep you guessed it, It takes you down the road paved with good intentions, I will do it a next time, I'll do it tomorrow's, I am a good person, surely G-d will grant me entrance to heaven, etc. But they are all LIES!!
Don't sell out to Satan's bag of lies, his bill of rights, his abrogated truths (says one thing, next sentence takes back all he said)
Ultimately the choice is yours. Choose Life, Choose Wisely, not foolishly...
Shalom~~~~
