Things tend to intensify as we age.

Aches.

Pains.

Ways of being.

Nice people get nicer over time.

Kind people get kinder.

Angry people get angrier.

Annoyed people get more annoyed.

At smaller things.

Like the server at the restaurant.

The nurse at the facility.

I might be in a nursing home one day.

Dying.

People die.

And they tend to die as they live.

Not all the time.

But it's worth choosing love.

Choosing it over fear now.

Choosing it over fear later.

Choosing it always.
