Garbage in, Garbage out... as the saying goes.

Attention is our most vital tool.

Whatever we focus our attention on, we strengthen.

Some people enjoy porn and UFC fights. Just because they do doesn't mean that I have to.

Not everything passes muster. And every single thing shouldn't. I call it discretion. Some people refer to such as preserving the peace.

We all have our limits.
