...Been on the other side of a one-sided conversation?
...Taken the blame for something you didn't do?
...Assume the high road so someone else will feel better?
...Bite your tongue to avoid hurting someone?
...Avoid the argument for the sake of being right?
If you have, did it ever pay off?

Funny and Sad....
Is what my next offering is (I think from now on, I shall refer to my posts as 'offerings'). It's funny, but it makes one hell of a point.
Enjoy!

The Little Shit
Did I ever tell any of you?
I'm sorry, I'm genuinely surprised. I thought I shared with you the two rules of life. They have been guarded by generations of bona fide country folk like myself.
They don't come cheap, you know. I'll have to charge you something later on down the road for sharing this wisdom. We can work it out, if you like. I do accept trade.
Wait, you mean I haven't really told you? Are you fucking kidding me? I thought I did. My bad. Guess I'll make up for it. Do you mind if I light up a smoke? This may take a while.... Hold on.... Mmmm, good Marlboro.
I'll tell you like I wish my grandpappy told me. There are two simple rules of life. The first rule is: Don't sweat the small shit.
The second rule is: EVERYTHING is the small shit.
Oh hell, I didn't even finish my cigarette. I didn't even take two puffs off that bitch, and you already learned this lesson? Damn, this has taken me many years and many different attemnpts, and yet I still don't quite get this from time to time. I certainly hope you do. Remember, it's so much easier if you can put it in perspective. In fact, young one, I'll put it down in two easy steps:
Step 1: Don't sweat the small shit.
Step 2: EVERYTHING is the small shit.
I need to be reminded of that sometimes, myself. Don't worry if you forget it from time to time -- you will. That's a part of growing up. In fact, the more you abide by these two rules, the more hair you'll grow.
Well, that's not entirely true. At first, you'll grow hair all over your body, and in a bunch of weird places. Afterward, it will get gray. After that, it will start to recede and grow out your ears and you'll get puffy eyebrows and shit. Either way:
Don't sweat the small shit...
Alright, boys and girls, Uncle Damien is done lecturing. Just remember that I choose to share these lessons with you, because the cost of you learning them from me is far less than I had to pay.
You might call me a professor who earned his education from the School of Hard Knocks (which might be in New Jersey, though I'm not sure)
Take care of yourself; and each other.
