    It’s ok the guy has dementia…he doesn’t realize that he’s basically closer to the eternal life than most of us. Can’t take anything with you. Not even clothes.

    If I was the guy, I would spend my money on happiness.

      I doubt there are many forms of happiness left for him that money can’t buy. All he wants is supremacy and control.

      I think at this point it’s fair to assume that whatever mental faculties he had are getting away from him. His bowels sure are. The Iran stunt didn’t go as he wanted to. I’m sure you can find plenty more examples.

      For all that he might cover it up, some part of him knows all these things. He’ll cover it up, try to bury it in delusion, refuse to acknowledge it, but I can tell you from experience that that doesn’t make the nagging doubt and frustration go away. So long as he can’t accept his limits, he will never be happy.

      Getting old can be bad enough for the sane and well-adjusted, and he is neither. I hope that you reach old age much happier, healthier and wiser.
