Old folks are dangerous because they have nothing left to lose.

Way ahead. A wise man told me the more things you own the more they own you - so I've made it a mission to divest myself of things and found I'm freed of almost all worries other people suffer from. I get things, commit anything valuable to memory and let them go with no avarice or regret. Because WE are almost always more transient than the valuable things we come across.

That realization makes us simultaneously dangerous yet most trustworthy. Can't be scared nor bribed - have to be killed or run away from if not reasoned with. Good quality time LOL.

A good place to be.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and yet lose his own soul.

We can't take the smallest fraction of it with us anyways. Best to lay up our treasures in heaven.
