Nearly a half century upon this earth and I thought I had seen everything, but this weekend topped all. When we were out of town for our state competitions, we happened to enter a local restaurant for lunch. While we were eating, I noticed a family with two children at another table across the dining room. The children were involved in the competition and the family appeared to be well-educated. The child had gotten up to stand on top of one of the chairs and the father was standing alongside; he had whipped out about 20 inches of dental floss and was proceeding to floss that child’s teeth right there in the restaurant dining room while people were eating lunch.
It just reminded me of how many people, no matter how old, or how educated, simply don’t have a clue.
Which led me to think about things I have learned over the years. Tidbits on wisdom. Here are a few.
When you lose someone's trust it is very difficult to earn it back.

If you cannot be above-board, if you have to rely on underhanded tactics to obtain what you want, then this is a clue that what you are doing is wrong.
***
You cannot force love, and trying to do so will only drive that person farther away.
***
If you have hurt or injured someone deeply, no matter how long ago, and have never sought forgiveness, you can never hope to have a normal relationship with that person.
***
People who think they are clever often turn out to be the losers in the end.
Now copy paste this and send it on to whomever you think might be interested in reading it.
