HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-07-04, Page 10Everyone has peculiar likes and dislikes. My likes include: pizza, country and folk music, any movie starring Sidney Poitier, watching the Toronto Maple Leafs win a hockey game, the colours purple and blue, novels with happy endings, sunshine, people, and life. My list of dislikes goes something like this: Peanut butter, cigarette smoke, the clicking of a cigarette lighter, watching the Toronto Maple Leafs lose a hockey game, strong winds, and thunderstorms. I also dislike being told by a salesgirl that a dress is "definitely me," when I can see it is "definitely not me." Thinking of likes and dislikes reminds me of a quirk of human nature, which has always puzzled me. Why do we yearn for soinething that belongs to someone else instead of valuing what we already possess? Take our hair, for instance. A girl with straight tresses curls the ends, while a lady with curls straightens them. A brunette, thinking blondes certainly have more fun, bleaches herhair. Meanwhile a blonde dyes her hair black, and a girl with black curls lightens the shade to auburn. When gray streaks appear amid a woman's strands, she promptly blends the two colours with a rinse. At the same time, younger girls create streaks by bleaching the tips of their dark hair. Am I tired of my hair colour? Not yet. It's far from beautiful but it's mine, We likewise long to be a dif- ferent age. Older folks murmur, "If only I could be twenty-one again. That's when life was fun." The kids, though, can't wait to grow up. "It'll be great when I'm older," they exclaim. "I'll give the orders and do as I please." Personally I believe eighteen is a fine age. In fact, I celebrated my eighteenth birthday again this year. Any age, of course, can be the Day in London for WI outing Thirty-five members of the Horondale W.I. members went by car to the Garage restaurant in London.

EASY SUMMER FIXIN'S best age. Life depends on the individual to make each year worthwhile, More serious matters are in- cluded in the human quirk. The other guy's job, for example, always seems easier than ours, His working conditions are better, his salary is higher, and his overhead lower. If he tried our job, he'd realize what hard work really means. Many labourers feel over- worked or bored by their jobs. To some, the only favourable part of their employment is the pay cheque, and sometimes it seems meagre compensation. Those of us, that enjoy our work, are in- deed fortunate. No one's problem is more difficult to solve than ours. If someone stepped into our shoes, they'd receive a shock. Maybe if we walked in their boots, we'd be surprised. Remember the Indian prayer: "Great Spirit, grant that I may not criticise my neighbour until I have walked a mile in his moc- casins." To strive for a better way of life and high ideals is noble. But if envy is the driving force, a blemish mars the effort. Let's appreciate what we already have.
