Field Notes

 

It isn’t that I don’t like people because I do.  It is just most people I don’t care to know or encounter.  Like the farmer once said, “It’s hard to cultivate people without turning over a few clods.” 

I have known some who find it impossible to step out of their own shadow.  They are forever reciting their resume, as if their history and achievements are amazing. 

There are those who can only make themselves look good by making those around them appear unworthy. 

Even with two perfectly good ears, some never listen.  They fill up the space around them with their own continuous chatter. 

I find the Negative Nelly’s most annoying.  They’d complain if you hung them with a new rope. 

None of these are startling revelations, just observations of the human condition.  We are short-sighted creatures who become entangled with ourselves.  Constantly searching for answers to the wrong questions.
