The thread surely has gotten heated!
It reminds me of experiences I had in my mid-20s. I was not really doing much of anything with my life. Each day was a party with my friends who were on the same “program,” if you know what I mean.
We spent most of our time just partying and doing juvenile stuff, like lighting bags of dog poop on fire and leaving it on people’s doorsteps.
Eventually, I decided to get it together so I could take over my family’s business. But, there was a catch. I would have to re-take every single grade, from kindergarten to twelfth grade, in a two week period of time for each grade, to prove I was worthy of taking over the business. Along the way, I realized one of my father’s associates was a really bad apple. He also happened to have some really weird looking balls…
…anyway, his ulterior motives came to light eventually via his speech and his actions and everyone learned that his biggest weakness was in business ethics. He reminds me a lot of tRump.
In the end, I learned how important education is and that it really is all about the friends we make along the way.
This is how I feel.
