All of my life -- I haven't minded playing the fool, the "ignorati," the imbecile -- who just doesn't get it. That quality makes me an unqualified and ignored listener who learns, learns, learns.
I observe and learn from people: their behaviors, their stories, and sometimes even their lies. I observe and share with people -- their adventures, their mistakes, their triumph's. Women have always underestimated me; men have always understood me. Women who like to compete have always gone away having "bested" me. Men have always understood that life is "no contest." Life is a "non-competitive" clause on your birth certificate.
So, who is the "damn fool" now?
