I've had the same thought. I once hoped I'd be able from on high to watch all the great ongoings on planet earth for ever. If that happens to be true, I'm not sure I could bear to watch it.
On a similar wave length; have you ever calculated the very best era/years to live ? I submit it was shortly after WW2 until approximately now, so we did well living in unequalled freedom and convenience and medicine that we have. Now, I hope to make it to see DjT in stone on Rushmore.
Obama recalculated my desired checkout time, but DjT reversed most everything he did and so provided a few more years of smiles.
Well said, FRiend, and I agree re our having shared in America’s ‘golden age’.
