Dichotomy 

The confidence of living life with the knowledge gained from lessons learned mired down with the physical insecurity of seeing new wrinkles in the mirror and an aging face facing down gravity that doesn’t look like you feel. 

The enthusiasm to change the world because you’ve seen how grand it could be made heavy by the day’s burdens and thoughts that maybe tomorrow, after a good night’s sleep. 

The motivation to share your experiences and heart to generously fill the needs of strangers lacking love, resources and attention spurned by potential antipathy and not even knowing where to start. 

Which choices sound better?
