The donkey told the tiger, "The grass is blue."

The tiger replied, "No, the grass is green ."

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.

As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"

The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue."

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him."

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence."

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..."

The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"

The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green."

The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?"

The lion replied, "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ***, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.

Sadly, my way off making a living requires me to do this, over and over. I basically am paid to argue with all sorts of idiots, many of whom are fooking judges. The retirement light is barely becoming visible. Keep on keeping on.

You will be delighted to know that while more boring, time passes way faster once you actually reach retirement...........................
 
I'm filing for my SS in June because I will be 66 and 4 months which allows me to work full time and not lose a dime of my SS. I will probably never stop working until I can't walk.
I wish our younger generations had your work ethic. They mostly have none.

I am on exactly the same plan, but my date is just after this month! First time I've been pleased with my age/health.

^^^^yup....I retired in 09.... Feels like yesterday. When you're young time goes by like molasses in winter time. When you're old it melts.

05 and like yesterday, but also a lifetime away.................................

I felt that way until I stopped having fun because of the new crowd that I was working with at the end. Life was meant to be lived with gusto and as we approach the end it becomes more of a shame to waste it. Leaving industry allowed me to focus on old and new hobbies with the same effort.

One of the new hobbies in 2007 was OMMP medical MJ, look at all the fun, excitement, and adventure that brought into my life.

In my youth I heard a Dr Watrous motivational speaker on how to live to be 100 and he made the observation that once you have your niche solidly established and are good at what you do, you should retire and start a new career that stretches your gifts and assets as much as getting good at your first one did and once you mastered that one, retire again and repeat.

A little extreme but since then science shows that we lose brain matter at an accelerated rate as we age, so adding new neural networks helps offset that loss.

I've come to like retirement best and to believe that whether you stay working, or retire early, the important thing is that we keep our bodies active and our minds learning new things that build new neural networks.

Was offered 9 cars n trucks (1 is a 63 2 door impalla) today. All I got to do is haul them off....Just ain't got the energy or space to do it.... It's damn tempting.
