My next-door neighbor and I frequently borrow things from each
other. Not long ago, when I requested his ladder, he told me
he had lent it to his son. Recalling a saying my grandmother
used to repeat, I recited, “You should never lend anything to
your kids, because you will never get it back.”
With that, he responded, “Tell you the truth, it’s not even my
ladder. It’s my dad’s.”
Life is all a big confusion.. people ignore their feelings, their thoughts, their ideas, their theories, their wishes, and they even ignore what they WANT in order to be happy. Yet surprisingly they remain calm!
