These are people who are incapable of laughing at themselves.</p>
<p>I also have noticed the same problem with people whose reaction to Thanksgiving is to call it &#8216;Turkey Day&#8217; and be incapable of calling it Thanksgiving. I&#8217;ve noticed they have a big problem in giving thanks.</p>
<p>It is interesting the things you realize as you get older. Reader, you have a choice. When you age, you can either view old age as a comedy or as a tragedy. As we age, our bodies get older, and that is the tragedy of life. But as we age, <em>our souls get younger</em>, and that is the comedy of life. Next time you look into the eyes of a shriveled up old man in his wheel chair, notice the laughter in his eyes.</p>
