It is better to be surrounded by fools who know they are fools, than by arrogant fools who think they are geniuses.
The humble fools will offer compassion and kindness, whilst the arrogant only seek to destroy with their ignorance.
My pedantry knows no bounds.
Retired, my urge to teach abounds.
I try hard to be light and cheery,
But too often make things dry and dreary.

A digital illustration depicts a solitary figure standing on a reddish-brown, rocky shoreline, facing a distant, large, industrial complex. The scene is bathed in a warm, orange, hazy light, creating a muted, otherworldly atmosphere. Several vehicle-like structures are partially submerged in a body of water extending towards the complex, which features multiple tiers and a dome-like structure at the top. The figure is wearing an orange spacesuit and appears to be observing the distant scene. The overall composition emphasizes scale and isolation, with the figure dwarfed by the expansive environment and the complex in the distance.
