    1. Be thankful you survived in this wicked world
    2. Establish a legit business
    3. Establish a community
    4. Reevaluate everything you’ve been taught
    5. Old age does not mean wisdom

      FROM HOOD TO HIGH UP OFFICE'S POSITION
      schedule a meeting from 9 to 90 impresses me and you may not know it but I know you have a wealth of information that I can get from you you got to know how to finesse the elderly to I got that down my grandmother could not stand me but who was there when she passed and tea give her those last right just me you never know who's going to be there for him with this life has planned for you that's why I'll just take everything is all for me cuz he gave it to me

      I don't agree that if someone is dumb and stupid as a child that they'll be that way as an adult. Experience gives wisdom too. Everyone counts. I don't c dumb and stupid in humans bc everyone has a gift. Those gifts never c the light of day bc of someone's perspective as to what classifies one based on a certain system of grading as opposed to watching children and helping them to contribute their gifts to the world. I feel like most kids who grow up to be monsters are kids who had monsters to raise them. I said most not all. I believe that there are those who are inherently evil as well. Peace and love to all.
