MARTIN: Hi, everyone. This is Martin Pytela for a Life Enthusiast podcast, and today I have a rare pleasure of introducing to you Mr. G Ed Griffin. He comes to us with a pedigree that you would envy. After all, he’s been on the planet for a long, long time, and he has had the time to earn his chops. Mr. Griffin, welcome to Life Enthusiast.

G ED Griffin: Ah, well thank you for inviting me. Yeah. I’ve been around for a long, long time. That’s true.

MARTIN: . Yeah. Well, just for reference, birth year 1931. That makes you at least 20 years older than myself. So.

G ED Griffin: Yeah. Well.

MARTIN: You would have to know at least four universities more than I do.

G ED Griffin: Well that really is kind of the trick of life, isn’t it? It’s to learn what it’s all about. Learning is the most gratifying, and probably the only meaningful thing we do in this life is to learn about something. And of course, then the other half is if you discover that what you learned is not going well for you or for mankind, or for the universe or whatever, wherever your mind happens to be. Then the next object is to do something about it, and that’s where it really gets interesting. Because first of all, you have to figure out, well why am I here and what’s my purpose? And how did all this come about? And it takes a long time. And then the first thing you know, you wind up being as old as I am, and you say oh my gosh, I think I got it, but it’s too late now. You know, you’re out of time thinking about it. And my advice would be for younger people to don’t think too much about it. Just get on with it and do it.

MARTIN: Yeah. I remember somebody saying something about planting trees. The best time to plant a tree was 40 years ago. The next best time is today,

G ED Griffin: . Yeah, that’s right.

MARTIN: Right. Well, my mother recently passed and I was thinking, contemplating on that, why is it that nature is so wasteful when she was at her most knowledgeable, most wise, most having all of this knowledge together and so much to give and then boom! It’s over.

G ED Griffin: Yeah.

MARTIN: And so I’m contemplating my own shortness of time. Right? Yeah. What do I have left here and what sort of mark do I want to leave?

G ED Griffin: Right. That happens as you get older. When I was a young twig I never thought about that. I never thought I would get old, I guess.
