I was out grocery shopping a few weeks earlier when a conversation between me and an older gentleman sparked up.
He was probably in his late 60s to early 70s, and the conversation started casually, as most conversations do in a grocery store aisle.
But he quickly started talking about more specific topics like the state of the country and wasn’t too satisfied with how things were going.
After a few minutes of conversation, we parted ways, but I continued to think about some things he said, particularly how he said them.
His comments about living through the Vietnam War era and his projection of distrust in the current government stood out.
