the other day i took a walk and happened to walk through a trailer park ,i sometimes like to people watch and i saw alot that day a kid sitting on a curb by himself ,while nearby 6 or so older kids were playing and he could not or would not play with them ,then a little bit farther along i saw a double wide trailer where you could clearly hear a knock down ,drag out argument , you could hear it from the whole area ,as i kept walking i saw way back in the corner a very small trailer ,not even half the size of the huge arguing one but on the porch were 2 elderly people swinging on a porch swing arms around each other and smiling ,they seemed so content ,in something modest and homey ,while the huge trailer was full of arguing and malice,i turned then to go back in that direction to walk home and i again passed the area where the kids were but this time all the kids had rallied closer to the little guy who was now crying a little but also no longer alone .i heard one of the bigger kids say ,it's ok our parent's fight too come back and keep playing ,grown-ups are strange ,the kid gave a little smile and they all walked off to play some more ,so i learned some things that day... 1 the way i see things sometimes based on the surface appearances are completely wrong,2 materialism does not bring happiness ,3kids have a goodness about themselves that is deep and powerful and 4 grown up's are weird
HAve a great day
