The Devil All the Time

10

Some things just can't be helped, if I am being honest, I would venture to say that a lot of people are beyond help. My dad says that the older you get, the more set in your ways you are. Yet... as we grow older we are supposed to be wiser, and keep learning. After a certain point of trying to justify my existence to these older people, I came to the conclusion that saying that, "the older you are the wiser you are," is just bullshit to keep the human race alive and kicking. I do believe that in some cases, there are older people who seem to listen in order to understand and not to judge. They are sometimes like a breath of relief, a sweet cool breeze during a hot summer day, reminding you of spring or fall. We don't get those much here in Georgia, where in the summer the air is hot and balmy, and your skin is damp within 30 seconds of standing outside. Even the sun seems a bit too hot, burning a bit too bright.
