Oh Yes Your's Stinks Too

… Oh Yes…. Your Stinks Too!!! We all know at least one… The person who self-aggrandises, intent on making others think, feel, and look less than… while falsely building themselves up to be more than… They remind me of the story, The Emperor's New Clothes. The king obliviously marched around town and down the street with smug self-assurance. Not only does he believe his clothing is grand, people should fawn all over him… his doesn't stink. He needs a child, a voice that's heard, to say… “he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips… BUT, his stinks!!! We all need that child's voice to state the reality around us. No matter who a person is or does, how much wealth they have, how well-known and famous, how envied… No one can escape, everybody's stinks! Sherry Barton May 10, 2024
