WORTH
You ever have those days you wonder what is the meaning of life? When you ride around and see people on the sidewalk asking for food, help, change etc..are you ever disgusted by some?
I’ve sat next to people that smell bad and wonder how they can stand themselves. Bad breath, body odor, just horrible smells in general. I also recall a pastor once reciting a story about 2 grandkids that played a prank on their grandfather as he slept on the couch. They rubbed some limburger cheese on his upper lip under his nose. The old man woke up and out loud wondered what the hell smelled so bad. He went to the kitchen and promptly declared it stunk there, too! Every room stunk! So he steps outside and declares, “THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD STINKS!”.
Point of the story is..perhaps we are the ones with a problem and not the person next to us. There is always some worth to everyone, regardless of how high we think of ourselves, every person has value..even if not to us.
FILTHY
He is the most contemptible person I’ve ever met,
Despicable in his views,
Unredeemable to the core!
So dirty..
The dirt under his fingernails seem the cleanest part of him.
He can make a Marine blush when he openly spews his vulgarities!
Women give him wide birth,
Dogs snarl in his presence..
I would venture to say the homeless have more to offer than he.
He has dim views…wide opinions
Limn the culture of his personality,
Reeks of the hopelessness of society,
And walks quietly..
In the loud world.
Avoids conversation,
Avoids association,
Holds company to himself.
The opinions of others..
Weigh down their expectations of him,
So they expect little..
He doesn’t disappoint them! And,
He writes the most beautiful stories for his grandchildren!
