One common trait with all grumpy old men is that they know nothing. At least that’s what a lot of people think. I got to thinking about what I used to know and want to share a few items with you.
I used to know: that human life was the most precious thing and was to be regarded as scared; that respect for others was very important; when people continuously lie, they are not to be trusted; that dignity and honor was something you could be proud of; that if you didn’t work, you didn’t have the things you want; that there were women and there were ladies and they were to be treated as such; that being a man, one of your jobs was to protect ladies and children; that you live your life and let others live theirs; that you didn’t ride your bicycle in the middle of car and truck traffic; that two plus two equals four; and, I used to know enough to come inside out of the rain.
Next time it rains, I'll just stay out in it.
