After seeing the photographs and footage of the absolutely dreadful earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I have decided to stop grumbling about things. What right do I have to grumble when I sit here on my perch, comfortable, confident in my own security, assured food whenever I want it, able to nip off to wherever I want whenever I want, family and friends around all the time.
Have you all seen how dignified the Japanese are? They have such composure and bearing, I really admire them. Now come a little nearer home (I won’t be telling you exactly how near, but use your imagination) and you get the shrieking, wailing, bawling, squawking, howling, unruly, looting, excited, dishonest, thieving crowds. Guess who? Could we please have the Japanese in that place (and plenty others I can think of) to give a little training in self restraint, composure and dignity?
Anyway, as I was saying no more grumbling. We all grumble too much.
This morning there is no rain so the lunatics were on the roads again: cutting in front of me (and others) hogging the roads and paths, oblivious to the rest of the world and there was I, cussing and swearing like mad. I used a series of very interesting expletives this morning, for example: ....... OH! I forgot, I’m not supposed to grumble. What a lovely world! Happy I am!
