YR Ted CLL Ra so Re \ wink hh At LY 4 hat nd | PA -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Aug. 30,1972 JO ORL PRR SIAR. Wedhesdon, Aug, 30,197 Of Facts and Fantasy By Reta M. Berrill Questions and Questions Why does the average human being find it so much easier to dispense sympathy than congratulations? Why can'$ we tell our friend how we feel about him instead of saving it for his obituary? Why do we care so much what (Mrs. Grundy) thinks? We know the truth and, God is our judge. Why do some people always play cards to win, but never learn how to lose? Why is it the habit of some people to issue an invitation--come and have lunch with me some day, or, come and see us sometime. Some-day and sometime ride in the same vehicle, as, Tomorrow that Never Cones. Why do people say "How do you do it? I wish I could." But immediately you start to explain they've (lost) interest. They really don't wanna' know. When we're young and wish to do certain things, we're too young. When we get old and wish to do the same things, we're too old. Is there really a magic age that enables us to do these things without criticism? Why don't people smile more often? It takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown, and it feels better too. Have you ever tried smiling at a stranger (same sex) and received a cold blank stare? Even a child can give back a look that clearly says "Beat it!" Could this be credited to the Age of Noninvolvement? Why do we so often take sides with the loser? He could have failed because he didn't try hard enough. Why does everything require a price-tag? How much are yuh gettin'? or, how much did it cost? And an argument; no one works for nothin' these days, why + you? But we contend there's a value beyond the common lucre. And everyone should have something to do that helikes to do, and do it for the sheer joy of doing. Why do some regard reading books, as a waste of time, yet are so quick to point out that T.V. is So Educational. Why do people "bug" us with details of their illnesses long cured, or, lead us through their operation stitch by stitch. After all, most of us have been there and know the way. : Why will those with least education use this as an escape-hatch for all their failures, but never do anything about it? : Why do some people abhor quietness? So they have aradioor T.V. roaring all day, even tho' they fail to look or listen. Are they afraid of hearing the Still Small. Voice? . : When we share with someone our delight of the moment--perhaps a rose-bush blooming for the first time; why does she have to say, '"Yeach, it's pretty, but my Aunt Martha has one that smells nicer." When we're elated about some kindness shown us and try to relate it to another, why does he so quickly suspect there'd been an ulterior motive? Why do some people insist on telling us their complete life's history at our every meeting, until we "decide it's a taped recording and only wish the shut-off switch were visible.
