I was sitting by my bedroom window one day just watching people going by. I like to do that and you'll soon understand why. While watching people going by, and older person pulled up at the store across the street from my place got out of his car and went to the back and opened the trunk. He took out a case of 24 of empty beer bottles. Now there was nothing wrong in doing that but it’s the way he was carrying that case of empty bottles of beer that got me wondering if he would make it to the store. But he did. After I would say about 10 minutes he came out carrying a new case of 24 beers and walking it seems without any problems at all and with a big grin on his face. Comparing at the way he was struggling with the empty one while carrying it to the store it was unbelievable.
I find it kind of strange at some people’s mentality how quick it can change and how effective it can be to a person’s mind to carry something that they enjoy and in this case just knowing that he had a full case of the stuff gave him more energy and a happy look instead of a grouchy one. When I saw the look on this person before and after getting what he wanted right away my thoughts turn to thinking that this person had turned out to be a slave to that garbage like a lot of those people are and like I used to be. I was smart enough to understand what kind of person I was turning into with that kind of garbage and I never touched it again. This was 35 years ago and I have never regretted one day of those years. I’m glad I did because I wouldn’t have wanted to turn out like this old idiot that I saw this morning.
Sometimes sitting by my window early in the morning and watching people going by can be just as enjoyable as watching a good comical movie.
