I think there is an inevitable shift in thinking as one gets older. When I was younger, I was more reckless and impulsive and I couldn't temper my emotions to really see things from a rational perspective.
I wanted to do a thousand things at once and was more impressionable. As I've gotten older, I've let things assimilate for themselves and my emotions are not so raw.
It seems to me as one gets older, life begins to replay itself. It's like watching the same movie again. How people react in a situation..I am usually able to determine the root cause for their behaviour and I am able to pick and choose as to which life events I decide to participate in.
As Giovonny said, I feel life is too short for me to do things I don't want to do.
When I was younger, I used to try and do different things to try and broaden my horizon and would stick at these things for an extended period of time to allow assimilation.
Right now, I feel I make better choices and I feel the older we get as males, we will continue make even better choices based on knowledge coupled with instinct provided that we continue to associate with progressive people which will, by proxy, update ourselves regularly.
I try my best to avoid people who piss in my ear and try to convince me it's raining.
