Aging is attitude: what you are when you are young <br />will come to pass as you age; the biggest problem <br />is this book was written by a pastor with years of <br />loving community service, he even served three <br />missionary years in Africa, he recommends <br />service and teaching to fulfil the older <br />person’s need to be needed <br /> <br />Given that I am not a community person, never <br />mastered the art of participating in group acti- <br />vities, found teaching impossible; found my joy <br />in solitary pursuits practiced against a back- <br />ground of other people’s activities without <br />direct interaction; I do not meet the <br />requirements set out in my book <br /> <br />To create a carefree and happy old age - how <br />to relate to people in groups when I failed to do <br />so in my youth, all I hope is that cantankerous <br />and irascible people who love seclusion as <br />much as I do, will age with me so we can <br />form an exclusively grouchy group…<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-exclusively-grouchy-group/
