Then of course, there was the "recent unpleasantness" that tore up the North and South.
That was then, and this is now. THIS is OUR piece of history.
We even change in our own life times. Once when I was very young, before I worked hard and saved, and did without to get our first house, I used to think that we could help all of society's ills. We who were whole were responsible for all. I believed that people would be better for my efforts to help them.
And then I grew older and found that many aren't better for having things given to them. And many lie to get free things, and many feel entitled to live off the rest who work.
I still care, and I still want to help, but I am often skeptical. I guess that is age, and possibly wisdom.
We would be far worse off without the attitude that so many share here in The Villages. We are the majority HERE, Thank God, and it feels good to be with so many sage people. But do NOT call us unfeeling.
Here is a picture of my immigrant grandparents, God Bless them.
