Getting older

I think the main feature of maturity is you won't always say what you think. Many reasons why we hold our tongue. To contain the acid, to spare the rod or to hide ourselves. And sometimes the situation simply does not permit us to speak our mind. Or heart, for that matter.
Such is the burden of growing older.

But at least the older we get, the more lessons we learn from history. And hopefully like lightning, events don't replicate. And even if it does, my reactions shall not. This, I resolve.
