Sometimes we get through the BS of life by having at least one mantra which, when everything goes to hell, serves to help get us through.
My bro has an interesting one. “I was looking for a job when I found this one.” In other words, if this job sucks too much I can quit and find another. This job proves it.
Mine is always in the back of my mind: “It just doesn’t matter.”
Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes and the poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of heaven shake, yeah, Jack Burton justs looks at the big old storm right square in the eye and he says , give me your best shot, pal , I can take it".
Treat people as if they are intelligent because many will rise to the occasion. But, know that people are stupid. Do not fool yourself about this and you won’t be disappointed.
