Thought for Today
“Marriage should be a duet – when one sings, the other
claps.”

Reflection
EDGY
Edgy lived in a cave.
Oh, he'd come out once and a while - but most of the time - he lived within - with himself.
He'd watch TV - but always by himself. He loved the basement - the under edge of the house.
When he came into where we were sitting, he'd grab something by the edge, a comment, a whatever, shoot it back at someone - and then retreat.
At everything he had to come to, he would always be in the back, or if he got into the middle of a conversation or an issue that was being discussed, he would be angry or his face would turn into an unhappy face,
I was watching him from the edge or the crowd.
I realized a long time ago it was better to step back if one wanted to see.
I'd see him edge his way out of things.
I'd also notice his bark had an edge to it.
Ugh,
Talking to others behind his back - which was easy - he was absent most of the time - I discovered everyone - well almost everyone - had the same concern about him.
People who are eccentric are avoided. Then they become more eccentric - and they are avoided even more.
It can become a vicious circle - even for a person who is outside the circle - because they are on the edge of something worse.
