Elder Wisdom

I held out a chair for an old man,
And received a response that was,
“I’ll find my own chair!”
I paused,
And then the old man asked “Is this seat taken?”,
Then I got anxious and responded by stuttering “no no no”,
And then the ego in the old man seized the opportunity to feel emotional power over me by imitating my stuttering by aggressively responding/asking,
“No no no.. what!?”

Welp,
So much for the elder wisdom….,
Within him
