As a small business owner, I can attest that this is the absolute truth.

" Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned." That one just broke me up. My brother is 10 years younger than me, of course his nickname is "Mistake".

Believe me, parents of twins roll that out when one of their twins complains, "I didn't ask to be born."
Response? "We didn't ask for you either. We were hoping for your brother/sister and you showed up as his/her plus one."

Today I saw a bumper sticker that said, “Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.” I think that’s right, but it’s also only part of the story...The belief that it is acceptable to be rich is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. The desire to be like them keeps the poor from murdering the rich. None of this, of course, keeps the rich from murdering the poor.

Arthur C. Clarke said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." I say, "Any INsufficiently advanced technology is as irritating as magic."

That's how I've been explaining things I don't understand for many decades. To wit, "Mom, how come when I flip this switch the lights go on?"
"It's magic, Honey."
"Oh. Okay."

I've never seen this before, which is rather shocking because it is so very true. Thanks for posting it.
Bob Dylan said pretty much the same thing here:
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'
