Do we become more radical as we age?

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I think the biggest difference I have noticed in myself is I have more confidence in myself, so I am more comfortable not taking advice from so called authority figures. Some of it is age and experience - learning that even those high and mighties can be totally wrong at times has helped, but actually it was going back to school and getting that 'big' degree that did it. It proved to me that I wasn't a dimwit, that I could be really good at something no one had ever thought I could, and that I was up to taking on windmills, rather than just retiring to a corner to mutter to myself.

So yes, it is a bit of not giving a fuck, a bit more confidence, and a big spoonful of 'actually, I do know what I'm talking about, so shove that up your cake hole and do the right thing' ness. Don't know that I am radical though, but I do notice how slow everything is. Except time, that is.

I quite like being old. Age hath its privileges, as my Dad used to say. And it helps offset that cloak of invisibility...
