I see consequences long before most people too.

Maybe it was honed by my attempts as a child to read my parents minds and not get hit again today for unexpected reasons and unsaid rules.

Maybe it was expanded by working the bars in my teens and twenties. Guessing correctly every night which poor sap would go home with which butter face when the lights came on.

Maybe it was the political traps of my young career being used as a stepping stone and scape goat for others climbing the ladder.

Maybe it's the blindsiding financial quagmires of four, five, six crises occurring in parallel as an adult.

The world is full of evil people who do it deliberately, and stupid people who are clueless to the impacts of their actions. I just try my best to either avoid or combat their behaviors before my consequence becomes inevitable. I have a keen sense of liars and an excellent judge of character. I don't do business with anyone who doesn't call me back. I constantly catch people red-handed in their lies, but it's not worth the effort anymore to call them on it; just move on without them. My friends are few, but my life is rich. Don't dislike yourself.
