Life until this point in time has not been hard, it has been exhilarating; so full of change, risk, excitement, and joy. Whether experiencing a great sense of independence through lack of being tied down to jobs or places, going to college and being shaped as a person both intellectually and personally, dropping ship at… Read More »
I have a good friend I worked with for nearly 4 years and who is around the age of 70, named Henry. Throughout our years working together, we had many conversations on topics ranging from politics and economics, all the way through religion and philosophy.
