It dawned on me that I know little about mechanics. I’ve never had the opportunity to learn to change oil which seemingly is very simple. My parents are professionals but I’m sure my father can change oil but he has never offered to teach me. To be honest, I don’t think he has changed oil in his vehicles within the last thirty years. Nonetheless, as I watched the mechanic I pondered who will continue to teach the things that all men should have some knowledge about like changing oil and tires, using a hammer and all the tools that every man once knew how to use. Who will teach me and who will teach the children?

Bro. Professor,
Your insight shows the true interdependency of family and kinship. No matter how high we rise, there is nobility in all work and everyone has intrinsic value. While we all must pull our own load and make our way in this world, there must always be the bigger goal of looking out for our fellow man.
now bruh, as for this tire and oil thing....don't we all learn how to changes tires and oil waaaay back-in-the-day? *sigh* once again the Ohio bruhs will have to bail out the NC bruhs.
Maybe we can find a tutorial or somthing. lol
