A fine wine demonstrates the ageing process. It begins life as
Beaujolais Neuvoux and ends life eighty years later presented to
the Queen, with a priceless value.
A big thank you to all
the talented writers
who have kindly
shared their work!
People are the same, in reverse. We start life as a squawking,
screaming, totally dependant baby, of great priceless value to it’s
parents, and oHen ends life as an aged, squawking, mumbling
body, totally dependant on Doctors, nurses, and medicaon –
aHer being presented to the Queen of course.
The greatest difference between these two existences being in the
gathering of knowledge, and the ability to pass it on. This is what
makes us different from the lower animals
(and grape products).
