The Age of Impatience

Wit & Wisdom with Tom Greene ·

2026/03/16

Wisdom used to be something we expected to grow in to, something we earned through years of trails and errors--years of confusion and uncertainty. We still respect wisdom today, but have we grown too impatient to pursue it ourselves?

The Things We Leave Behind

Wit & Wisdom with Tom Greene ·

2026/03/09

As we get on in age, we often tend to spend time thinking about legacy. About what things we leave behind for others. But that's not the right way to think about legacy. We shouldn't be thinking about the stuff that matters to us. We should be thinking about the traits we pass on. The ones that tend to live on long after we are pushing up daises.

When Did Empathy Get Hijacked?

Wit & Wisdom with Tom Greene ·

2026/02/08

The loudest voices, the angriest voices, seem to have taken over the stage. We are naturally empathetic people but only to a point. We used to be able to have a conversation and disagree without being disagreeable. We could have empathy and still disagree. Today empathy is hijacked by movements and you either agree on you're wrong and immoral. How did we get here?

Wit & Wisdom with Tom Greene ·

2026/01/18

The Ultimate Act of Compassion

Wit & Wisdom with Tom Greene ·

2026/01/05

Nobody wants to suffer at the end of their life, especially me. But is Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) the solution? Last year 60K people voluntarily ended their life in Canada. That seems like an awful lot to me. A number of US states are following the lead. Several now have laws that allow for your doctor to end your life. This is a tough subject but one that deserves a lot of debate and discernment.

Wit & Wisdom with Tom Greene ·

2025/12/21

It's crazy how far ahead of his time he was. And now 25 years later he's looking like a modern-day Nostradamus.
