A little and a little, collected together, becomes a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop makes an inundation.
~ Arabian Proverb
- - - - -When the old farmer said he was going to put up the structure so that it blocked my view, I asked him not to. He said he didn't have to listen to me. He could do whatever he wanted. I wasn't the boss of him I tried to talk to him as a neighbor. In a friendly, generous way I encouraged him to consider alternate locations. Locations that would block someone else's view.
He didn't listen. He just did what he wanted. There was no convincing him otherwise.
You could say he was being stubbarn.
But you don't have to.
