No fool like an old fool

Hearing the word 'retired?' a dozen times in the past few days has set me thinking.
But of course there is something even worse than that... 'Haven't yet retired? Why not?'
As they say, there is no fool like an old fool. The biggest resistance man can ever put up is that resistance to reality. The reality of your growing older but not wiser!
Being around but not being wanted. Being ready to be heard but others want one better not heard.
You know what is the worst tyranny?
"Look we need you to do some things for us, but you're not that wanted otherwise."
