“I’m a good boy when I’m asleep.” ~Paw would say to humor himself and those around him.
So I see duality of the same person, whom I love as a father and whom I can understand as being more than a handful as a person. No, I am not going to compare him to a child, although he does act up his frustrations in passive silence, enough so to irritate more boisterous personalities, and made more apparent due to his old age, or will I allude to his stubborn trait of disrupting the “status quo” by resisting compliance to house rules and other normal functions created by humans.
Nay. He is a good man but a bad boy, too. His caretakers/family members mean well by offering honest criticisms DAILY. Yet he continues his merry ways of keeping busy in the garden and doing chose inside the house, oblivious to priorities that doesn’t suit him and his routines. Of course, given a certain amount of freedom to do whatever he wants, he is fine. But when confronted with the disciplines necessary to take on other tasks/activities out of his own initiative, that is not forthcoming.
He is loved nonetheless and in return offers his usefulness in perseverance and strength around the place. No matter how much he is beaten down to speed up or think independently with little to no guidance, his clueless mind-set doesn’t faze him one bit. Sure, he exercises great restraint and doesn’t speak back for fear of not being feed as some sort of psychological punishment and knowing voicing his outcry of mistreatment wouldn’t do any good. So he has learned that keeping silence has preserved the relationship of care.
And so should all males, regardless of skin colors. Just learn to cooperate when needed but don’t keep going along with anything you do NOT understand or feel is ornery and wrong. State the facts as clearly and as coherently as possible, keep your issues as sweet and as short as possible to those with vile tempers and hope for the best that your sentiments are heard loud and clear.
Deep down you know you can’t be without your female counterpart or at least a companion you could count on to be there when least expected. Count yourself lucky if you found someone who is not a psychopathic nutter or hormonally imbalanced to begin with. You can still earn the respect as a well-behaved man, who doesn’t need to whine, bitch, moan, complain or blather like an emotional woman.
Oh! Avoid those entities who entice and turn you into a Pavlov dog. You are better than an animal but helpless like one if you don’t know how to defend yourself against abuse and neglect. Perhaps, your best bet is to get a dog, a cat or whatever pet that will make you happy and feel empathic and responsible enough for you to maintain their existence under your care.

This has been a public service satire as inspired by Kenny boy’s latest article linking to a satire in a court tribunal setting. Bahaha!
