Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1272424I'm proud to say that for the most part, I am healthy, and when poeple look at me, they think I am 25 (no joke). "Old fogey" is what some may perceive, but my spirit thrives and I am young.

| Athena Awakened (OP) User ID: 1312743 04/11/2011 01:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very well said and written. I turned 40 this year and it has been a wonderful year - dare I even say the best year of my life (and I never thought I could top 17). The enlightenment that has come with it has been amazing. I hope it never stops. Quoting: Teri37209It is a wonderful year, and I must agree that the enlightenment that comes with age is truly AMAZING. I too, hope it never stops. Thank you for your sincere reply.

| CHOPIN ROCKS User ID: 1321360 04/11/2011 01:15 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for posting OP. I also turn 40 this August. I feel the same way sometimes. I am an athiest but I do think it is natural and healthy to be spirit minded without the dogma that man has created... To be at peace with nature and contemplate why things happen to us and how we can learn from it is empowering. There certainly is no room for meanspiritedness if you want to be at peace with yourself.

Quoting: CHOPIN ROCKSThere certainly is no room for meanspiritedness if you want to be at peace with yourself. You're welcome. Life without Dogma = LIFE, life will confront us with so many experieces, especially ones confronting us with "choices". I have this saying... "When you're open to learn, you take the seed of knowledge, it's how you CHOOSE to learn that determines how the seed will blossom." - thus developing character, through your will, through choice and consciousness.
