Thoughts on Various Subjects
The epigram that stood out to me at first was "No wise man ever wished to be younger"..not just because it was the shortest! lol I think this is interesting because what I kind of comprehended from it was that a man who was wise, spent his life wisely, and is still living wisely at the moment. This means he does not wish to go back, because he is wise enough to know how to be content with where he is at, and not get sucked into what all of society puts on us to look feel act and all around BE younger. I think this is what this epigram was saying, I liked it. PS- sorry Abby I saw you [posted the same one I was gonna switch but then i figured that their really isn't that many of these in this reading so alot of people are going to have the same one! I guess both our ideas are just shared now :) lol
