1. The world is trying to keep you stupid. From bank fees to interest rates to miracle diets, people who are not educated are easier to get money from and easier to lead. Educate yourself as much as possible for wealth, independence, and happiness.
2. Do not have faith in institutions to educate you. By the time they build the curriculum, it’s likely that the system is outdated– sometimes...

Both of my grandfathers, paternal and maternal, were shameless womanizers. I’ve heard the shouted apologies and empty promises.

At times, I feel like the pinhole, in the condom of creation. Something unnecessary and unexpected, is leaking through my consciousness, and into the womb of manifested reality.
