Now that you are twenty-one, you can begin to:
-
Produce more than you consume;
-
Accumulate mistakes that are 100% your own;
-
Take responsibility for the next four or five decades of human history;
-
Realize as you learn more and more that you know less and less;
-
Define God for yourself;
-
Furnish your home with any values you wish;
-
Compose the symphony of your life on themes contained in the opening
Andante;
-
Wonder how you could be so old and have accomplished so little.
