SOME will always covet. SOME will always see themselves as 'better than me' (as if !!!) The rest of us will always have to bear the brunt and deal with them. We do not stand on the shoulders of Giants. We stand on the graves of ordinary men. SOME will not let bygones be bygones.

Is presence. [Just look at all these memorials, memorial days, Imperial War Museums] Impossible to let bygones be bygones or even forget about. It’s there. Is presence.
