I think I have become a better listener over time which is odd given that I am a loner. Now the reason I say this is because both the frequency and intensity
of conversations I have with myself has diminished to the point of non existence. Up until three years ago I would regularly talk to myself but now I virtually
say nothing at all. I no longer even think with intensity. I put this down to the meaninglessness of everything in the grand scheme of things so therefore see
zero need to waste mental energy as a consequence. I have also with the onset of old age [ I am fifty two ] become more open minded and as such am less
dogmatic than I have ever been before. Anger never really goes away but now I have it under control. I only wish it was always so. But what is done is done

A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
