"There's a fine line between angry and grumpy. Angry isn't nice, but grumpy is funny" - Rick Wakeman
Project 365: #80
This epitomizes a large majority of the older population here, they look angry and a little sad, as if life owes them. I do understand that their generation has had a hard time, but it does not justify continual anger and intolerance. This statue is actually one of two, with an accompanying woman, a little distance away. Both have the same expression...it would be nice if they were just grumpy, with a teeny sense-of-humour and not finger-pointing angry. I have been reprimanded for silly things several times by angry-grumpy old people here...luckily most of the time I have no idea what they are saying!! I don't think I will miss this...but then again, there are grumpy old people everywhere. I guess that getting old can be a hardship in itself, and perhaps we should be a little more patient with the aged...we too will be old one day.
