Mid life crisis (benefits)

I would like to see mid life which i presume is the 30 + and the 40+ people who are neither here anymore nor there yet....as a better pedestal than the other two ..because they are still hopeful, positive and have some rigor left to enjoy life..and at the same time have the experience, maturity to understand life and its hardships , they would have seen quite a bit of it by now..either through struggle to achieve something, or by being thrown onto a moving wheel abruptly or by a death of a near one..they may be better able to understand why things are the way they are..and why they are not the way they are not..
so all of us in the so called middle-aged category..enjoy till you cross the border..

Strange Homosapiens

I was just wondering one day while passing by a meat shop..( i have eaten meat..and consciously stopped now) that how strange a human being is..haven't we heard stories where we have saved a kitten, or a bird, nursed an ailing squirrel,dog. My son has a gold fish whom he cares more than himself..and cuddled a calf, fed him grass..etc..at the same time among us are people who go hunting and kill animals..either for food or pleasure..most of us eat meat..and are hard core non-vegetarians..isn't it strange ? It may have happened that the same person who hunts a deer, rabbit may nurture a calf, horse,a kitten or for that matter even a rabbit at home. Only that we look at them in a different way when we are dawning different roles..when our objective is to kill (hunt) we dont have any sympathy or feelings towards the animal..and when we are the nurturer, master we will do all that it takes to protect and rear the animal.
amazing human tendency to play roles to suit its emotional desires..
I guess that's how we deal with life and with humans as well..among us are people who kill/destroy humanity for some motive which they believe in and among us are saviours who help the needy,serve in a hospital,old age homes, orphanages..and help to save humanity.
We are indeed a superior race who can do a lot with the great range of emotional arsenal that we have, lest we forget that we all are mortals and will be here not for eternity..so what your purpose in life? i haven't yet figured out mine..:-(
