At some point you stop behaving that way. Or looking that way. Or listening to that. Or even participating at that level. But you still can and do recognize it in others. You see that while it has changed over the years, it is still more or less the same.
Probably much as it was before even your time.
And you know when someone in the course of talking about it, in trying to describe it, gets it wrong.
You used to see it all the time. Everywhere. The media, other people in your group.
It's not all wrong, but wrong is all around.
Sometimes it makes finding it again a nice feeling. And when occasionally you demonstrate and then recognize it in yourself it is better than nice. And then I got distracted.
