In my not-so-understanding way.

I’m an understanding fellow. Or so I like to portray myself. Understanding to the point. Where I boldly proclaim. There’s a solution. To most problems. And if the problem-plagued don’t take my advice – well, then that’s their loss. So, in reality, maybe I’m not the most understanding guy around. Yes, throngs of my friends and acquaintances would rather live with their (so-called) wretched lives. Rather than take my foolproof prescription for a better life. Little wonder. That I annoy some people. But still, I maintain, it’s better to look for solutions. Rather than give up.  So there. I confess. That’s where I’m coming from. In my stupid and not-so-understanding way.  --Jim Broede
