THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Imagine this: Suppose that for whatever the reason, you have occasion to observe a friend’s life from a distance. Presently a man comes into this friend’s life that is extremely wealthy, wealthier than Carlos Slim, Gates, Buffett, or Zuckerberg; and he has every social and business connection imaginable. Further he thinks your friend is fantastic, and would do anything and everything to protect him and make him successful. Then suppose that, as this man attempts to grow closer and develop a relationship with your friend, that friend becomes angry and abusive. In fact it becomes his/her desire to become alienated; or worse yet to ignore the one who would literally give his life for your friend. What would you think?
