I have always lived according to good family values, I hope I know right from wrong and can judge and be judged without fear of retribution. I have always done exactly what has been asked of me in this life and indeed sometimes even more, much more. I have given the better part of my working life to being self employed and running my own business, it started under Margaret Thatcher and is currently languishing under David "dithering" Cameron. So, I guess you could say I have been around and am no fool.
How wrong can you be. Being a fool is not always about trying to make people laugh or jumping on to a trampoline from your garage roof or playing chicken with juggernauts on the Motorway's.
No, being a fool can be a lot more subtle than that, it can take the shape of a simple decision or a wrong turn down a side street, it can be you being very gullible, sincere or even plain soft but either one of these will suffice to put you into the sub category of the heading under "fool".
I have to admit i am strolling into this sub category under the "just too soft" label, i am a huge guy some 6f.1" and an ex rugby man, i am good at self defence and keep fit through work and mountain biking and can sprint and run like a guy half my age, something i enjoy doing, so it would seem very odd wouldn't it that this guy is a bit of a push over. Well, it is odd, but it is also very rare. I don't want confrontation at any price and I will shy away from it where and when I can, call it cowardly if you like but I have been taught that you listen to people and allow them to have an opinion and base your decision on what they want and think. To those of you with a little more aggression this must seem a ridiculous position for a big lad to take but it's me and I am finding it ever increasingly difficult to stay afloat amongst the sharks and opinionated selfish people out there, in short it's something I am ill-equipped to fight as size counts for nothing in this battle, only the sharpness of your tongue and your will to have everything your way or none at all, sadly elements of life that i lack.
Am I resigned therefore to such inequality?. Well time and tide will tell as it sits uncomfortable with me for the first time in my life and it's past time to start making decisions that suit me. Unpopular as it may be.
