Used To Be At The Bottom Of The Stairs

"Nobody is Perfect. Each one of us is a mixture of good qualities, and some, perhaps, not-so-good qualities. In considering our fellow man, we should recognize his good qualities and realize that his faults only prove that he is, after all, a human being. We should refrain from making harsh judgment of a person just because he happens to be a dirty, rotten, no-good, son-of-a-bitch."

That hung framed in my grandparent's house for as long as I can remember. Over the years it moved to different walls, but it was always there. And it was always true. I was reminded of it while contemplating the demise of the aforementioned Assistant Chief.
