Antennae for droplets of received wisdom

Annoyed by the shallow, often senseless behavior of others...

"Don't believe that they can do any better than they do. A child of five can't behave like a child of ten. The same with adults. No one can possible behave above his own level of understanding. Don't expect people to do any better than they are compelled to do at their present level. Your problem is in assuming that they should and could behave better. That is like thinking that a monkey should be as dignified as a deer. Understand this and annoyance disappears." ~ Vernon Howard
