YOUR MOTHER CALLED HERE YESTERDAY, BRAGGING ABOUT SOME AWARD YOU GOT FROM SOME ORGANIZATION – SO WHAT ?

BOBBY AND WHITNEY USED TO GET AWARDS TOO – BIG DEAL !

I COULD GET AN AWARD MYSELF, BUT I CHOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING AND THAT MAKES IT A LOT MORE DIFFICULT TO WIN A PRIZE OR RECOGNITION.

ANYONE COULD ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING AND GET RECOGNITION – BUT RATHER THAN TAKE THE EASY WAY – I AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE ELECTED TO DO NOTHING AND HELP NO ONE -- I HAVE SET A HIGHER GOAL FOR MYSELF AND THUS, IT IS TAKING ME A LOT LONGER TO GAIN THE PUBLIC ATTENTION AND APPROVAL, THAT YOU GOT IN A RATHER BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME.

OF COURSE, THOSE WHO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING, WILL WIN THE FAVOR OF THE CROWD, THE MOB, THE RABEL – WHILE THOSE OF US WHO DO NOTHING,
FAIL TO TOIL IN THE LIMELIGHT – WE JUST ANONYMOUSLY, GO ABOUT DOING NOTHING, ASSISTING NO ONE AND CONTRIBUTING GREATLY TO THE GENERAL DECLINE OF SOCIETY AND OUR WAY OF LIFE.

WE DO SO, QUIETLY AND MODESTLY; WANTING OUR DAY IN THE SUN, BUT ACCEPTING THE REALITY THAT FOLKS WHO ACTUALLY VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND EFFORT, WILL USUALLY GARNER ALL THE GLORY. LIFE IS NOT FAIR AND IT SEEMS, IT IS ALSO CRUEL TO THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO THE GENERAL WELFARE.

I HOPE YOU DON’T THINK I AND OTHERS LIKE MYSELF ARE UNCARING OR INDIFFERENT TO THE ILLS OF SOCIETY – THAT IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE. WE JUST
BELIEVE THAT SOCIETY HAS THE INSTITUTIONS IN PLACE TO GUIDE THOSE WHO NEED GUIDANCE – OUR POSITION IS TO STEP BACK AND ALLOW THOSE INSTITUTIONS TO DO THEIR JOBS.
I ECHOL THE WORDS OF THE GREAT EBENEZER SCROOGE –
"ARE THERE NO PRISONS, ARE THERE NO WORKHOUSES?"

YET, I WILL LOWER MY STANDARDS AND CONGRATULATE YOU FOR TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT AND MAKING YOURSELF USEFUL
TO SOCIETY. I DO THIS AS I REMAIN HOPEFUL THAT YOU WILL SEE THE ERROR OF YOUR WAYS IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND CURTAIL THIS
MAD DESIRE TO BE HELPFUL TO OTHERS.

TAKE CARE - UNCLE CHIEF
