A few thoughts:
You know, if I could change my tune, and erase all of the mistakes I have ever made in my life, would I? And who would I be today without that score of self knowledge? My song would not sound the same, and that would be a shame, especially to those I love most. Change is inevitable, but not without a few bumps along the way. Any journey worth the time, effort, and willingness to learn from trial, and error is not really a journey at all, it's just a frivolous endeavor devoid of meaning, and sustenance. It is like a starving man taking his first bite of food in days, and then gorging himself on bread until he dies from over indulgence. What did he learn? and how did that experience make him perhaps a better person, or at the very least more appreciative of what be had to eat before?
Today, our institutions of higher learning have somehow forgotten their place, and become cafeterias of the over indulged, and harbingers of a lost generation.
Well, I say to you who are listening, play your tune, make adjustments along the way, and treat the world to the masterpiece you were born to sing by the worn out strings, and countless hours of effort that went into each note you play!
Amen
