As we grow older, a lot of things we once valued aren&#8217;t as valuable to us as they once were.  The way we thought the world works isn&#8217;t exactly how the world works. Is it that we have lost faith, or do we just see things for how they really are?
Being popular is more important [...]]]></description>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">As we grow older, a lot of things we once valued aren&#8217;t as valuable to us as they once were.  The way we thought the world works isn&#8217;t exactly how the world works. Is it that we have lost faith, or do we just see things for how they really are?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Being popular is more important than being smart&#8230; how silly of me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Having things is more important than having assets&#8230; how silly of me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Not realizing every mistake or sin is fear-based&#8230; how silly of me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Trying to change people rather than being the change I want to see&#8230; how silly of me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">What have you realized that you have been silly of?  How do you see the world now compared to when you were 18?  21?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">*The soundtrack for today&#8217;s post is, &#8220;How Silly of Me,&#8221; by artist 607 (one half of the duo, earFear).  You can hear more <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://earfear.bandcamp.com/album/altar-call">here</a></span>.</span></p>
