,..and sometimes,
age,
never comes at all.

Oof, that quote cuts deep. Sometimes the candles on the cake show up, but the wisdom skips the party.
That hits deep. It's true — growing older doesn’t always mean growing wiser. Life teaches us lessons, but not everyone learns them. Some carry years, others carry understanding.
It’s why I don’t necessarily believe in respecting elders. A young fool will likely become an old fool. That being said, it’s amazing he lived to be that old. If I had to guess, any arrest felt like a life sentence to him.
Being elderly doesn’t give you an excuse to be a scumbag.
You'd think 75 years is enough to learn how to live and not die by gunfire. What a weird way to go.
My guess is this guy provided a lot of misery to people around him during his 75 years.
