I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have had many troubles in my life, but the worst of them never came.
My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.
Everybody had something horrible happen to them at one time or another in their life.
Some stories are true that never happened.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
What I've learned is that the most troublesome people don't tell you 100% of the story, and keep some facts to themselves. They just don't give you the full picture, and that's very worrisome to me.
I grew up in a house that had a whole lot of trouble. As much trouble as you could imagine.
Well, anything can happen and it happened to me. I learned everybody has a story.
I have the problems of, I must confess, old age.
I was born the year the Troubles began, in 1968. That world of violence was all I knew - people murdered, maimed, kneecapped, bombed. I don't remember a time without a major atrocity of some kind every week.
