The Middleman

I think the phrase "middle age" came about from being caught between people that are younger and older than I am. Not only caught in the middle age wise but also thought wise. I like to think that I am a sensible person. Somehow my sensibilities differ from the people that are on the opposite ends of the age spectrum. The younger generation thinks that I am too uptight and need to relax my ways of thinking. They feel this way because they are young and have not had enough experiences to teach them otherwise. I understand that. The older generation thinks I am uptight and need to relax my ways of thinking. They feel this way because they have lived through more experiences than I have and have become rebels in their own way. I do not want to say that they are too old to care. They are just older and wiser and have seen too much to have unimportant things bother them. They save their energy for what really matters. As for me, I am happy being the filling of the cookie.
