Mail to: eagibbs@ureach.comIn interviews with elderly, especially with those who realize that their remaining time is drawing to a close, one will often hear them say, "I waited too long to start living."
Researchers find this response strange. It doesn't take much studying, however, to understand that elderly person is really saying that he failed to enjoy life. Research has shown us that most people, during richest and fullest years of their lives, fail to develop an awareness of living.
Millions of people with miracle of sight never see world about them until it is practically too late; millions with inborn capacity to love, and to know joy that loving brings, wait too long to express it. They live through passing years without being aware of their days, or of riches that are passing through their hands.
