Whippersnapper! I'm 39 but I decided long ago that I would like
   to become The Wise Old Man. One of the best thing I learned is
   that it's okay to say, "I don't know." It used to bother me that
   I could never interpret some parts of human behavior - greed,
   jealousy, rage, sneakiness, exclusion, dwelling, rehashing
   (opening old wounds), power plays - but I'm okay with not
   understanding these things -... and they're all reasons I
   couldn't do couples therapy :) But yeah, i still think about
   doing it. been told years ago that I'd make a great child
   therapist because I can get to their level and play while not
   talking down to them. I find that for most people what they need
   is a Friend, the kind of support and understanding you can't
   always get from your family. "
