With all due respects..my grandfather was a fisherman and a sometime baker.
He drank too much, too often. He had no education to speak of. But he
carried his family through Africa and back. He ran a business there, too!!
In his village in Goa, and in that part of Africa he lived in, he was
recognized as a decent man. He never complained about his food, he never
complained about his life. He was a good man.
