Life lessons are a good thing to gather.

I am starting to gather life lessons from others now so that i can improve my own quality of life early on. Here is one that was shared with me recently:

Working people frequently ask me what I do to make my days interesting now that I am retired. Well, for example the other day the wife and I went downtown and went into a shop. We were only in there about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, “Come on man how about giving a senior citizen a break?” He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an ignorant fool. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So the wife called him a butthead. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. About then our bus arrived. We try to have fun each day now that we are retired. It’s important at our age.

Such wisdom.
