Treasures

If the sports radio talk show host was right all those years ago, then life is not the sum of things attained, but instead a wealth of experience.

Money fades, changes color or gets lost. Houses break. Cars stop running. Materialistically, the argument holds merit. And anyone believing experience to hold no value, likely, never had many good ones. So, for the sake of thought let it be true.

The problem is, experience fades too. It changes color. On the worst of occassions, it gets lost. Go back to a college football game. Go back to a high school classroom. Go back anywhere worth going back, then realize just how much has changed.

Life is experience, but like anything else worthwhile, the experiences must be made continually. New ones are necessary. Otherwise, they are little more than things gathered up with time. In fact, they may be a little less.
