Opportunity comes to those who don't waste time.

But that's not the same thing as being busy.

You know when you're wasting time.

Just stop doing that

And opportunity will come to you.

It turns out that relative morality

Is actually founded in a moral absolute.

Some things are easy. Rape is always wrong.

But it is the grey areas that make us wonder

If there is no firm moral law.

But when we look closer,

We discover that circumstance decides.

There is still a right and a wrong answer.

We just may not be wise enough to see it.

And there are even times

When the right answer

Is that any choice will do.

But in those circumstances,

Choosing to not worry about it

Is still the right thing to do.

And those who keep that law

Are blessed with sanity.

Those who violate it

Fraught with mental instability.

And it all depends upon the circumstance,

Upon the person, the place, the situation.

So, when our world presents us

With a thousand shades of grey,

Where do we turn for the right answer?

To God, and to that Spirit which is Holy

Which will tell us all things that we should do.

Lesson 8 - Keep Asking

“Make a trade,” Raymond said.

“Ok,” I said. And off we went.

We tried a dealership

But they were closed.

And then we tried a guy

Who just sold cars but he said no.

“Do you know of anyone who might be interested?” Raymond asked.

“Yeah, so and so.”

“Ok,” we said.

And we tried them, and they said maybe.

“Ok,” we said.

“Do you know of anyone else who might be interested?” Raymond asked.

“Sure,” they said. And just like that, we kept on going.”

And Raymond drank Vodka. “I want to be authentic,” he said.

He was. And more and more merry.

Till finally, we were done.

We both knew it.

We had enough leads.

And one of them turned out.
