And I got a message from a girl and a person, but I didn't know if she had a foreign name, didn't know male or female.
And so I responded.
A couple of emails went back and forth and ended up being an 18 year old girl.
And she said, I hope
that I have, I eventually get the understanding of people that you have.
And I had to burst a bullet because the older I get, I'm 50 now, the older I get, the less understanding I have of people.
I cannot understand people at all.
And it's getting worse and worse and worse.
I thought I understood people.
In fact, the poem that I wrote ends up being me saying I wish she had asked me that question when I was 18 because I would have had an answer for it because back then I thought I did.
The further I go, I don't understand anyone.
But therein lies the rub, I think, Stephen, that we all think when we're 18 that we know it all.
We know people, we know the world, we know how to cure all the ails.
Yeah, it's true.
And it's sort of this, it's a hubris of youth, I suppose.
