A few thoughts……
My dear old granny used to say “Don’t sit on your backside watching other people do things, get out and do stuff yourself”.
My grandad always said “don’t shut yourself off from the news and politics just because it can be nasty. If you haven’t the guts to face up to life, you don’t deserve to live in a democracy”.
My son told me that “the price of food has never been cheaper, as a percentage of disposable income, in the whole history of mankind”. This really is a fact.
The moral ……….Wisdom (and I suppose stupidity) are past down through families.
