To dispense with any ambiguity in future, I believe myself to basically be a decent human being with some very bad character traits [perhaps most learned -the result of a jaded lifestyle early in life]. But I must concede to the argument that something within me personally, took rather well, eagerly to these traits -hence, not all with my history latch on so vigorously to negative traits such as I. As my sponsor in Alcoholics Anonymous pointed out to me it out to me some 29 years ago, “You’re in the middle Richard” meaning not the worst, not the best!

It’s a terrible thing not to be able to give the person or the people you love what they need. But sometimes we can learn.

If you wish to make the rules or change the rules, in many instances you have to rise to the top 1st.
