Old, ugly,
tired, mean,
fat, and broke
I recently overheard a conversation between two Southerners. One man
asked how the other one was doing. The other man answered saying, “I am
old, ugly, tired, mean, fat, and broke.” Now there, I humorously
thought to myself, is a man who really knows who he is! He was in touch
with his identity and he responded with simple clarity. Most of us,
however, have a difficult time simply and succinctly answering the
question, “Who am I?”
