I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.
Thanks, Asklotta, for giving me a “nice” remark to replace my old, impolite saying: “There’s no help for stupid.” Your words are much kinder. Since kindness, even in the face of self-selected ignorance, is my goal, I appreciate the help. Hugs.
There has never been any shortage of those who want to rule. The problem has always been with the vast majority who are content to be ruled.

About a week ago, I was reading Coco Ginger’s blog, specifically her post about her French press. In the post she referenced treating every guy she meets as a potential character in her next story.
That sentiment hit me like a sledge-hammer: I, too, look at people I meet as candidates for characters. How dreadful. How delightful. It is a conundrum.
How about you? Are you eyeing up acquaintances, family and friends — and dreadful bosses — as novel fodder?
