"he called them life-lessons." - geoff, episode 221 "life-lessons" |
|
Steve is young and I expect
that he'll be married soon. But for the time beeing I worry about him.
He's lonley, he sleeps by cars. He's got a dog but that's not enough. No
one shares his bed. And as we get older Scarlett, that becomes pretty
important. Most of my colleagues live alone. Some of us form relationships
trough the job like you mum and me. Like Rowie and Johnno. Like Guy and
Jackie. But not many of us has stayed together.
Dear Scarlett. When my
dad gave me the life lessons I thought he was like God. He wasn't. Nor am
I. And the funny thing about my dad is that although he gave me lots of advice and he often reminded me about the life lessons, he very rarley observed them. Now, I don't condemn him for his weaknesses, Lord knows, we've all got them. But I think that's why lesson number ten is the hardest to observe. And it's also the simplest; Accept others for what they are. Because, Scarlett we are all badly flawed. Your dear old dad included." |
