You have to put up with so much shit and bite your tongue through life, that the older we get, the more we just don't give a fuck if we piss others off or not. Truth be told, they're more "real" than anyone else. There's something empowering about being who you are unapologetically. |

" and then you let them tell the story ....... "God sent me to piss the world off" |

The old body is just taken over pretty much and the only thing that comes out of them is vileness. I am not joking this is what has happened to us as a people. |

They are in pain and everyone they care about is dead. They are sad and suffering. And the worst part is no one has any sympathy. Imagine having the worst of a cold for the rest of your life and your brothers and sisters keep dying and the only time you go out is to funerals and the doctor and pharmacy. it's fucking SAD, you idiots. |

Try doing something nice...leave something with a little note on his front porch. Don't disturb him, just leave it. Coffee, donuts, I don't know, think of something. Just try it. It will work. I used to live by the meanest old lady I have ever met. She would stand on the other side of our fence and throw rocks at it to get my dog to bark. One day I left her a potted mum w/a note. She stopped and sort of became civil. |

Please. They had it good. At 37 everyone I care about is dead or dying. The 80-somethings should count their blessings. I know teenagers who have both parents dead of cancer and liver disease. I am sick of the elderly whinging and also expecting too much of their children who have kids of their own. STFU old people I say. They all know damn well they had it good, living through the depression or not. Kids still had intact families and small treasures. Today's adults have little to look forward to and worried parents at that. |

But, sometimes their hearts are too bitter and not much can be done for them. |

I've had a hard go at life, am handicapped and still have a positive outlook and enjoy talking to young people. If you let circumstances get to you, you will never be positive or happy. You gotta "rise above"... |
