RE: [NEWS FLASH] Crazy Old Man Of Steemit Turns 72

Happy Birthday and congratulations good sir. You've clearly made it to this age for a reason and you continue to prove this time and time again. You're providing this community, and the world by extension, laughter, sanity, reality, honesty, truth, friendship and the pleasure of getting to know you. I get that you never could have forseen any of this for yourself, and may have actively tried to avoid it, but it seems your character and strength has been needed for longer than 30 years.

Whatever happens in the future, hookers or otherwise, I know you'll do whatever you need to do with your unextinguishable character.

There will be a whiskey in my glass for you tonight.

Thank you my friend! Everything happens for a reason... I still have no idea what???

Maybe the reason or reasons have been in every second, minute, hour and day you have been on this world. Maybe your purpose has always been to enrich the lives of others, to pass on knowledge, wisdom and to be someone who can teach from your lifes experiences. Or maybe I am a million miles from the truth of it all but I believe we all have a purpose in this life and finding and knowing this is often the real challenge. I don't believe I have found my purpose in life yet but I know I have one, even if that purpose is to be there for others.

That's the funny thing about your purpose in life... You don't get to know what it is- it's all reflected in others. I forget if it was Plato or Aristotle (Plato I think) who said: If someone quotes one of your ideas, you've reached immortality.

Well I can feel confident in knowing you've certainly had an inpact with those in this community.

Thank you!
