Grumpy old man

Talked to someone the other day who wore me out. This person is the same age as I am, is in good health, just retired, and is ready to die. I haven't heard so much negative outlook from one person in a long time. 

I tried to encourage him to try something new like ballroom dancing, golf, fishing, or anything other than sitting and watching TV. To him, dancing was for sissies, golf was boring, fishing was too much work, and anything else I mentioned was also not a good idea.

 He hates the cold, but refuses to move south. Wants to be with his family, but never goes to see them. Doesn’t like to read, won’t try art, hates music, and generally doesn’t like to do anything.

This man isn’t depressed, he just is lazy. To him it is easier to complain about the problem than pursue a solution. 
The good thing about being with him was the ability to see what I never want to become. Life is good, how sad to waste it. Just Say’n.
