In the last post I took the privilege of making some assumptions about my readers.
I was passing out advice. That's dangerous. I assumed that people needed advice? I assumed that all my readers were much younger and that when they reach my age the advice will be helpful.
Was I in for a surprise. Many readers had the advice I gave them and many had more advice to give.
Well, I guess that's how it works. We don't know the other person and the other person may have more experience and knowledge than we think.
The comments were an eye opener and they were most helpful. I hope other people learned from the comments and so will have an easier time navigating old age.
I will have to be much more careful about assumptions I make from now on.
