Great cartoon from this morning's paper:
Tried to live it out by spending the morning at the beach. It was a scorching day, even before the sun had crossed the meridian. People of all shapes, sizes and ages parade themselves up and down the beach. I was watching an elderly man walking from the water towards his towel, his chest puffed out, stomach drawn in, and arms swinging in the manner of the gym junkie. From where I sat, this man looked in his 70s, but I wonder what he saw from his own perspective.
Do we really understand how others see us?
I occasionally compare myself with my own father at the same age. He seemed much older than I at the same age, and his father likewise before him... but I wonder whether my own children will say the same in relation to me. Do I look my age? Does it matter? Or is it more important that I have a healthy self-perspective?
