I just read this article about 102 year old Oscar Niemeyer celebrating his birthday and I thought of how different he is at 102 than I would hope I would be if I make it to 102! He said celebrating his 102nd Birthday was "crap and there's nothing to commemorate," I'd say he's not a good advertisement for living a long life! Maybe he figures that he's outlived his family his friends and even his enemies and there's not much to live for. Not sure what this guy is thinking. Maybe somebody older or angrier than me could help me out...
I just hope that all of us would live our lives in such a way that if we get 102 years, we celebrate it, make the most of it and if asked, say something inspiring and of eternal significance. Too bad this guy didn't live his life with no regrets for Christ, at least then he'd have something more inspiring to say when asked.
