Why are grandparents often more mellow, composed, rational, and accept the need for risk and failure?
Possibly it is a second chance to learn from mistakes the first time around and overcome regrets and shortcomings. Is it merely an appreciation of the preciousness of time? Or is it simply a seasoned perspective on reality and what is essential?
The privilege is not bestowed on grandparents alone and is there for our taking.
