 As we get older, we get better at doing what others tell us to do. You’d think it’d be the opposite, no? 
 I disagree moet vehemently. 
 We are rebellious as teenagers, and then conform, as we understand the world will simply not go the way we wish.

We’re building a world where it can. 
 Everyone has a different path, there is an age where this ability seems to fall off a cliff (often for what we define as “health reasons”)

Im just in early retirement I think 😅 
 Not for me.  
 Opposite, of course. But if one gets too old, may become demented. In this case the above sentence could be true (unfortunately). 
 As we get older, we refine our art of saying "okay" and then doing whatever we want. 
 lol maybe it’s that and I’m still just a child 
 The key is to be believable and not believable at the same time, so they never want to check and see if you actually did it 
 still a child here also, never will be old, was only my nerves failing due to some mysterious and now visible mineral deficiencies that was making me weak and cautious, and i suspect this is almost universal (to some extent)

some are lucky to just be in a culture that feeds on good things and this maintains their connection to spirit but it's really big, i mean really big, when you don't have that base chakra right you can't build on top of it, even if you have the apex of teh pyramid in your mind
