Close enough.

Love Opus’s eyes in the last frame!

You know, as I grow older and more breathtakingly intelligent, one great universal truth becomes clear—every human being is just that—a human being, complete with strengths and weaknesses, feet of clay and souls of angels, dreams and nightmares, flaws and virtues. The only expectation that can survive disillusionment is to have no expectations at all. The only judgement I make about someone is: do the positives outweigh the negatives?; the only condemnation I make is to quietly avoid those people where the negative dominates.

Great attitude.

C.S. Lewis said that nobody ever tells the complete truth. Partially due to reluctance and partially because some truths can’t be put into words. I think this notion appeared in “Mere Christianity” or “The Problem of Pain”.

“The worlds a sick place and I’m a happy guy!”

I haven’t had a hug from my wife in almost a year.

Always have a chuckle when a ‘woken’ person brings up Jefferson’s slave owning. You can not apply todays standards upon the past.

Cutter Jeff?

As I grow older, the more I lean toward Miss Marple for guidance:

“Having observed human nature for so very long, one learns not to expect too much from it.”

“The young think the old are fools – but the old know the young are fools.”

Yep.

“Jeff,” you shouldn’t mess with an insecure girlfriend. Who can predict what she might do?
