Inspiration met with envy, intelligence met with ridicule, decency met with scorn. The modern ethic. Progressives making progress against mockery. Thin skins, the worst. Humorless.
But mocking is rocking, and we rock this foolish boat, sailing into the merciless seas. A mutiny is assured, squabbling is all they know. Squirming and squealing come natural, whines are instinctual. Greed has no brothers or sisters, it's an only child. Usually, the offspring of insecurity and selfishness.
Take it like a human, quit being weak, glare a bit more, ponder. Encourage, observe, think. Laugh when no one is around, it's a good habit, say anything. Care a bit less. Ask good questions.
