Because some people have not got anything better else to do and love to do their dirty laundry in public so others can see, but do not have the intelligence to realise they show themselves up for what they really are. Disrespectful and lacking any kind of integrity, if they can possibly comprehend what those words mean.
Of course you were not invited, he just got back from the kindergarten party, still in his nappies with a paper party hat on and a slice of chocolate cake, and is now going to bed as he is exhausted from playing in the paddling pool!
On a global basis respect is dwindling rapidly which is a shame because in this world we have so much to learn from one another, and education is one of the fundamental keys to understanding who we are and where we come from.
Gosh if there were too many of me in this world it would be a too much for some and not enough for the other
A Better Place to be by Harry Chapin. Also Winchester Cathedral by Crosy Stills n Nash, and so many many more
It was an early morning bar room, And the place just opened up. And the little man come in so fast and Started at his cup. And the broad who served the whisky She was a big old friendly girl. And she tried to fight her empty nights By smilin' at the world.
And she said "Hey Bub, It's been awhile Since you been around. Where the hell you been hidin' ? And why you look so down ?"
But the little man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound.
The waitress she gave out with a cough, And acting not the least put off, She spoke once again.
She said, "I don't want to bother you, Consider it's understood. I know I'm not no beauty queen, But I sure can listen good."
And the little man took his drink in his hand And he raised it to his lips. He took a couple of sips. And he told the waitress this story.
"I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die. And I watch the metal rusting, and I watch the time go by. A week ago at the diner I stopped to get a bite. And this here lovely lady she sat two seats from my right. And Lord, Lord, Lord she was alright.
"Oh she was so damned beautiful that she'd warm a winter's frost. But she was long past lonely, and well nigh unto lost. Now I'm not much of a mover, or a pick-em-up easy guy, But I decided to glide on over, and give her one good try. And Lord, Lord, Lord she was worth a try.
"Tongued-tied like a school boy, I stammered out some words. But it did not really matter much, 'cause I don't think she heard. She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my head. And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she said, 'If you want me to come with you, then that's all right with me. Cause I know I'm going nowhere, and anywhere's a better place to be. Anywhere's a better place to be.'
"I drove her to my boarding house, and I took her up to my room. And I went to turn on the only light to brighten up the gloom. But she said, 'Please leave the light off, Oh I don't mind the dark.' And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my heart. The moonlight shown upon her as she lay back in my bed. It was the kind of scene I only had imagined in my head. I just could not believe it, to think that she was real. And as I tried to tell her she said 'Shhh.. I know just how you feel. And if you want to come here with me, then that's all right with me. 'Cause I've been oh so lonely, lovin' someone is a better way to be. anywhere's a better way to be.'
"The morning come so swiftly but I held her in my arms. But she slept like a baby, snug and safe from harm. I did not want to share her with the world or break the mood, So before she woke I went out and brought us both some food.
"I came back with my paper bag, to find out she was gone. She'd left a six word letter saying 'It's time that I moved on.'"
The waitress took a bar rag, and she wiped it across her eyes. And as she spoke her voice came out as something like a sigh. She said "I wish that I was beautiful, or that you were halfway blind. And I wish I weren't so dog-gone fat, I wish that you were mine. And I wish that you'd come with me, when I leave for home. For we both know all about loneliness, and livin' all alone."
And the little man, Looked at the empty glass in his hand. And he smiled a crooked grin, He said, " I guess I'm out of gin. And know we both have been so lonely. And if you want me to come with you, then that's all right with me. 'Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be."
Oh Englishman that women could move the world on its axis, her voice is truly beautiful. I saw her play at Hammersmith Odeon a couple of years back and shall never forget what an incredible experience it was. "Alison Krauss & Union Station" Gerry Douglas was playing on the dobro.
Yes it is about time we had a thread about this to try and make people more aware of the environment and what we can do as individuals. Every little helps, no matter what anyone says, lets all do a bit and see what a difference we can make, something is better than nothing. Fruitless some might say but hey at least when my time is up and if the world is in a better state by then, what I did helped make a difference. No matter how minute!
Environmental issues should be on the curriculum at schools to educate them in this area for our next generations to be more aware of such. A downside to this way of living is not everyone can to afford organic this and environmentally friendly that. People living in poverty stricken areas throughout the world do not have this choice as I do, for which I am most grateful
