That 's a nice sentiment and
I thank u for it, Mr. Parados.
That is the best thing that u have ever said about me,
and it moves me to feel good about myself,
but since the age of 11, I have believed that trusting is a bad business
and it shud be kept to a minimum. Examination of history
reveals that
human behavior is not predictable.
Perfidy is just part of being human, like carbon in the DNA.
No one shud trust
anyone (with more than he is willing to lose).
The treachery that I have personally experienced has been
relatively mild,
bland & trivial, but that does not impair my
observation of long-term human nature.
Children shud be tawt that in kindergarten, while thay have
a lot of time on their hands (along with the
inefficacy of gratitude).
( I wonder if I shud open a school. )
