Facing Old age

As I get older I am finding myself suffering fools less. I had a discussion this past weekend about being nice to someone I dislike for no reason other than to be nice. Life is too short for me to spend time going to functions with people I dont particularly get on with, it just makes for a completely unpleasant evening. So rather than feeling like a fake I have decided I shall no longer go out of my way to be overly pleasant to people I cant abide. There is too much fakeness in this world already without me adding to it. I know I sound like a particularly unpleasant character but take me as you find me.
