The makings of a foolish wise man.

Don’t mind being a fool. It’s a part of my genetic make-up. Doesn’t necessarily mean that I always act like a fool. Only that I’m fully capable of being a fool at any time. Especially when I sit down to write. I know no bounds. Writing whatever comes to mind. Even foolish stuff.  Doesn’t embarrass me. Because I am what I am. An unmitigated fool. So are many other people. Virtually everyone, in fact. But many of ‘em try to hide the fact. Out of embarrassment, I suppose. That makes them even bigger fools. Someone (not sure who) said a fool doth think he’s clever. But a wise man knows himself to be a fool. Maybe that makes me a foolish wise man. –Jim Broede
