I was strolling through an indoor shopping mall, and outside a video store was a camera and large T.V. Screen, that passers by could view themselves on the "BIG SCREEN'.
Although not completely surprised, I generally saw the same
(expected) reaction by most passers by!!!!
It was the same reaction that I recall as a youngster when the portable tape recorders were first introduced into the market place!
When adults would record their voice and play it back, in most cases they displayed a shyness/embarrassment, blurting things like, "OH! That doesn't sound like me!!!"-------------
-------On the other side of the scale youngsters ( that in most cases were chomping at the bit) were anxiously awaiting their turn to record their voice and play it back time and time again!!!!----They quite simply couldn't get enough!
Which brings me to this thought! What adults deem as maturity and growing up in wisdom via the medium of life's experiences-----may in reality be an admission that the more they experience the opportunities that life has to offer------the increasingly more they are aware of the vastness, with all it has to offer, will mearly be only touched upon each one of them as life passes them by!!!! The sadness or reality of not being able to be a part of all the future has to offer, in my opinion can sometimes actually push these so called mature adults, back in time, in an unwilling attempt to avoid meeting the reality that life has much to offer, but time limitations creates a major need for priorizing what one wants to achieve in life! At least as we know it on this earth!!!
I won't go into what I see in the mirror every morning!
