We've been so "grouped" as people and taught group-think that it is hard to see or be seen as one out of the group they're assigned to. Or, in many cases, gladly and willingly join in order to escape their very individualism. That's a shame. There is still a lot of individualism, but groups feel they MUST put those individuals into a group in order to make themselves feel more secure. There is safety in numbers, you know, we are told that all the time.
Our Grandparents. That was the last age of true individualism for society. IMHO
He had many great sayings that were not only humorous, but revealed a deep understanding of life. The most memorable were:
Stupid is supposed to hurt.
Without an education you are not much more than obsolete farm equipment.
Work smart because you will never work harder than a mule, or cheaper.
The first 20 years of your life are where you are supposed to fill your head with the things you will spend the rest of your life selling. Pay attention and make sure you have plenty of inventory.
If you don't want people talking about it, don't do it.
Beware of people telling you what you want to hear. When someone has his tongue in your ear you need to know where both of his hands are.
Just because no one ever finds out about it doesn't mean it isn't a sin.
