Trust NO ONE…..and trust the immanent unpredictability of the moment even less! Surprises only befall those who are ill-prepared or completely unprepared, so never put yourself in the position of being an unwitting victim of “unfortunate circumstances” who thereupon rants and raves ad nauseum about the gross unfairness of life while seeking pity for oneself. There is no such thing as “unfortunate circumstances”; there are only dumb, ill-prepared imbeciles who naively expect a smooth, dreamy tour throughout the entirety of their lives and then scream bloody murder and complain loudly about inequities and “bad luck” when destiny throws them a few curveballs and leads them over a bevy of speedbumps to test their mettle. Always be prepared and never allow yourself to be caught absolutely off-guard, lest you wind up being rightfully lumped amongst the aforementioned throng of guileless dotards!
