None of the above. On another thread regarding the surgeon general, you talked about being an example, well, be one. Having the ability to avoid the temptation of apple pie is worthless when you cannot resist the temptation of taking something that you didn’t earn.
What is it, I have come to understand karma, I have come to the point in my journey that I realize how important it is to love yourself, be the guy you look up to and understand that riches will never bring you respect. I have a dedicated windex bottle and roll of paper towels near my bathroom mirror, just to clean my mirror after kissing myself in it, cause I loves me some me and I kiss myself often. In the real world, I’m a hero, every guy wants to be me, I wasn’t born this way, I was given good advice and it is my obligation to relay that advice to others, nothing I say is original, it is all recycled. Giving people advice to be the same way as those you have no respect for will give them the same results.
brian, it’s in you brother, I see the internal conflicts in some of your posts. You despise greed and fear, but it takes over sometimes. Watch out for envy as well. Just wake up tomorrow and be the best person you can be, give more than you take, and at the end of the day, if you don’t like it, if karma doesn’t reward you, go back to being part of the problem, I’ll still accept you, because I’ll know you still have it in you, you just haven’t figured it out yet.
