Believe in Thee
Remember the times when we would yearn for certain things and beings to foster their being into our lives, where what we wanted was so far-fetched, dreams that we found so unfathomable to forge their breaths in our lives? It is wondrous and almost astonishing how existence in the most unimaginable ways, how we fathom that something we can never live without, life always turns out for the better when we let go of what no longer serves us, of what we can no longer control or any experience, person, entity or situation that we outgrow in our existential being.

Valuable Advice About Free Advice
I learned a lot about life working in my dad’s junkyard. It was a place that always had unusual and interesting characters hanging around (like myself). Some of these characters were junkyard philosophers and some of them gave me some profundity that I think about a lot. One piece of junkyard philosophy came from a street hustler who did some time for armed robbery. He was a very observant fellow who got his education at the school of hard knocks. He offered this about things being “free.” He would say, “ ‘FREE’?? There ain’t nothing ‘free,’” meaning that there was always a price or catch. And in the case of “free advice” the price is the potential consequences from listening to advice from people that do not have a personal interest in solving your problem. When things go South for you from listening to them, they are going to quote Brother Bluto in Animal House – “You fucked up. You trusted us.”
