"would your friends be as awesome if your association with them were not also lucrative?"
I tell you; I have four Jobs, pun intended. In one day I can meet a celebrity or two. -and also the lowest end of society you will ever meet; a drug addict, or a pscycotic patient.
NO one wants to know them.
This make an impact on me. I also know that I can change whatever in my life, but the problem is to tell people that thay have to start with themselves.
That is the only problem in this world IMO. :)
once again; the only problem IMO is that we accuse others for our problems.
Within this; hidden the real freedom. At no cost.
