We are such Rubes.

 The most noticeable thing in my 56 years is how much more advanced ancient civilizations are getting. 

Those two words...

from those people in your life

that you've never heard from their lips. 

They've heard it from you,

but it's not reciprocal. 

It's almost like you are the only wrong in the world. 

That last line was facetious. 

Just how it is

Some folks say they won't end up like that crazy old person, but I have faith in people. All it takes is doubling down on a few mistakes, a little physical pain, an accident of any kind, a betrayal, a loss, guilt...and BAM. You've lived life and will die a crazy old person.
