Happy birthday. Great advice, unfortunately will fall on deaf ears for those who need it most, as the generations before us did with us in many ways. The power of youth is a hard obstacle to overcome when in its grip :)
Be the person you want to have in your life, and you will attract like people.
And even if not, one can hold their head up high and sleep in good conscience.
Hey, @practicalthought.
Thank you. Oh, youth. Too bad too much is wasted on it. :) All I can do is try. The horse doesn't have to drink, the ears don't have to hear, and the eyes don't have to see. I keep thinking I'll come across some youngin who'll figure it out because they looked around and listened. There are some. Every once in a while you hear about some early twenty-something doing something beyond their years. Not a whole lot, though. Youth likes to repeat the mistakes of others, apparently.
