I have the advantage of knowing your habits.  As I perceive that your feet, although socked and soiled, are by no means very DIRTY.


It is one of those instances where the reasoner can produce an effect which seems remarkable to JS, because someone missed the one little point which is the basis of the deduction. The same may be said, my dear fellow, for the effect of some of these silent measured movements of yours, which entirely meretricious in reasoning sounding plausible but false and insincere, you must decide to take things into your own hands, some factors in the problem which are never imparted to the paid help. 


Even as adults, we often struggle to see the world from a perspective other than what we are told.  Though it turns out that we are not at the center of anything.

No Guarantees


Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. U just have to live life to the fullest! Tell someone what they mean to u and tell someone off. Speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, act like an idiot, and smile until ur face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love! & most of all, live in the moment because every second u spend angry or upset is a second of happiness u can never get back.
