Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

You can't change the world, baz!When I was an angry and frustrated youth all bent out of shape over stupid people banging their heads against a brick wall when the solution was right there in front of their eyes and I used to want to have them all murdered in the name of progress and evolution and such, my Da used to placate me by telling me that I can not change the world but I could try to make it a little better for the people I love by acts of kindness, care and consideration etc.
Now as a youth, the notion of changing the world for the better (or to suit your
nefarious desires) seems a right rather than a privilege and this offers little solace.
As an older, wiser, more rotund and placable individual however, these are words, indeed principles by which I live. Most people are arseholes. Some clan are arseholes too but my clan are generally alright and deserving of a little baz in their life.
One's friends too; It's a much more efficient approach to life too when one works out to whom one ought to be magnanimous.
That said, it would be ace to figure out a away to change the world and prove the fecker wrong.
