Thought for the Week: Our relationships

Keith Wedmore looks at the importance of relationships

by Keith Wedmore 26th June 2015

I am 83 and intend to start a debate about how we oldies ought to manage.  

We have been dealt a double whammy by fate. For some 800,000 years of man we had several advantages that the last one hundred years have swept away. 

We had a lot of experience of the world. Our juniors came into that world, and were happy to let us teach them. That gave us respect, use and purpose. In the unchanging world of then, we already knew what we had to. The terrors of a five-year-old at a new school were not for us.
