Wally is the first to admit that he has absolutely no idea
what it is like to be a woman. And
although he can never know via experience, he recently came across a short and brilliant
video clip and article that he found helpful.
But “Sidewalk” is more than just about the lives of
women. It is also about how we, as
individuals, see ourselves as we get older and the self-pain and suffering we
inflect as we travel through each of life’s phases. It also reminds us of how nothing is
permanent and, like it or not, we will
go through changes. And the changes
never stop. As soon as we get proficient
in one phase of life, we’re already into the next, and the only thing we get to
take to that next phase is the wisdom we’ve gained from having gone through the
last one. Mostly, it isn’t enough and we’ll
always find ourselves totally unprepared.
Perhaps, that is why we should only take ourselves seriously
when absolutely necessary. Because no matter who or where we are, the
only thing that’s ever guaranteed is that things, as we know them, will
change.
But best to watch this short video before reading the Think
Progress article. That way, you’ll form
your own perceptions and reality before Celia Bullwinkel gets a chance to tell
you about hers.
