Is the mark of our times, as I posted about once before and was reminded of today while eating lunch. A fellow sitting not far from me proclaimed that he did not want fries with his meal because he wanted to be healthy, so he inquired about getting a salad instead. Shortly afterwards, the fellow carried on a loud conversation laced with profanity despite the presence of several other patrons in the vicinity, including a woman (not an acquaintance, rather a complete stranger to him). Perhaps he never learned that what comes out of a man's mouth is what defiles him, not what goes into it. Such wisdom is vanishing in our neo-pagan world, where only the body exists and above us is only sky. I ate a delicious meal of chicken wings and fries while keeping my thoughts to myself, relishing our differences.
