When folks on social media troll, my standard response is "Any jackass can kick down a barn. It requires a craftsman to build one." When responding to those loud vapid voices, I also commonly respond with "Shallow brooks make more noise than deep rivers." Both of those are cliches, but they are so darn accurate. Those statements may seem trite, but they have an awful lot of meaning in them.

Thank you very much for sharing his story. I take it as a reminder in these troubled time to guard against falling prey to negativity, and instead, channeling your energy into living well and strengthening your character.

I'm reminded of the words of Marcus Aurelius: "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one."
