When in the right (or wrong?) mood I sometimes behave in a quite bumptious manner. Normally it is with people that I know well. Often it occurs at work (where I may need to steamroller things through, to protect my own commercial interest). Occasionally this gets me into trouble either with people that I love (and therefore must respect) or people with whom I'm mutually interdependant at work.
Sometimes, on reflection I think that it would have been better if I had just not been bumptious at all. Not sure.
Yesterday I met someone who I have known for a long time. He was sometimes around when I was a little boy. As far as I can tell (and the guy can't possibly be perfect - surely we all have our failings), he is only ever and always kind and courteous. I think he must be a firm believer in absolute truth, he goes to great lengths to clarify things.....
I love going to see this guy. But always when we part, I feel the same thing.
I can only ever feel, that I have made a terrible cock-up of my life. And I must do better tomorrow.
I think that the world would be a better place, if we were all a bit more like my kind, courteous friend.
