36 Prime Time

Here is a guarantee of sadness and failure: try to ‘look young‘ your whole life.
As if that were the only value you had/held.
As if that were your only importance.
Oh, let’s not invite so-and-so to lunch, after all they look ‘old’.

In real human terms, we have several Primes through our Lives.

Growth Prime         0 — 15 yrs old
Physical Prime     15 — 30 yrs old
Mental Prime        30 — 45 yrs old
Emotional Prime 45 — 60 yrs old
Wisdom Prime     60 — 75 yrs old
Spiritual Prime 75 +

Keep this in mind with the inexorable onset of wrinkles (for women, not men!) and hair loss (for men, not women!).
If you think /believe you are only Physical, you care very much to maintain that illusion. However if you consider yourself more than Physical, allow yourself the satisfaction of the other Primes.

Certainly I like the idea of looking at a pretty face /body.
I also like the idea of speaking to someone bright.
As well as learning from someone, something I didn’t know.

After a while, who would you rather return to?
After a while, who would you choose to interact with? Invite to lunch?

‘After a while’ is my whole point.
Today ends at midnight. Tomorrow becomes today … which ends at midnight.

You have many Primes, Physical being only one of them!
