mdehnersIt's funny. In my 20's I couldn't Understand "why are old people so Intolerant?". Now that I AM one;>.....
A good example was about an hr ago. I'm dropping off books at the library and making the usual path through all the street people there. Well, they're ANGRY. Why? because the closest selter, which is run by Fundies has instituted manditory Bathing(I couldn't figure if this was just upon 1st admission or..). They were VERY ANGRY about being made to Bathe.
My Younger Self probably would have been upset but my Present Self can't Understand the problem. Someone is offering you Guesting. As a Guest you have Obligations to the Host. Even in Charity there ain't no free lunch.
Funny thing. I'd have been more upset about being forced to sit through a two hr Christian service than made to simply take a shower....
Cheers,
Pat
