Facebook is rife with good thoughts. Most of these are attributed to the wisdom of an old farmer.
- Don’t corner something you know is meaner than you.
- It doesn’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
- You cannot unsay a cruel word.
- Every path has a few puddles.
- When you wallow with the pigs, expect to get dirty.
- The best sermons are lived, not preached.
- Don’t judge people by their relatives.
- Most stuff people worry about ain’t gonna happen anyway.
- Remember silence is often the best answer.
- Don’t interfere with something that ain’t bothering you none.
- Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
- If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
- Sometimes you get and sometimes you get got.
- The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.
- Always drink upstream from the heard.
- Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
- Letting the cat out of the bag is a lot easier than putting it back in.
- If you think you are a person of influence, try ordering someone else’s dog around.
- Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and enjoy the ride.
Finally, some advice that once might have been funny, maybe even appropriate, but not so much today.
- Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he’s too old to fight he might just shoot you.
And to finish today a more modern question.
Do you remember, before the internet, that it was thought that the cause of collective stupidity was lack of access to information?
Well….it wasn’t.
Have a great day, I’m Steve Sauder.
