My folks didn't have money to send kids to college. There are people who are good people who have a lot of formal education and those who have learned about life in the military or by working hard all of their lives. I am pretty sure all of us are more compassionate because of terribly hard and bitter things that have happened to us inevitably.


If we have the ability to read people pretty well and truly care about others, we have won the lottery.
