Have you ever looked at city life and thought?.... "There must be people in the city that want to move to the country, and people in the country who want to move to the city." Like everyone has a choice, and even famous people who don't want to leave the city have to leave because of the harassment they receive. Also, thinking like this becomes an extreme form of thinking too. It may become an absolute statement like, "Everyone must want to move to the country who live in the city, and vice-versa, everyone must want to move to the city who live in the country."
THE GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREENER
-------------------------------------------
Listen, if you were a cow, and some of us might feel like one from time to time, you would be ripping apart your neck to get to that fresh green grass that is on the other side of the fence because you are tired of your cohort who just laid a fresh pattie of crap where you liked to lay under the big oak tree you love so much. Well, it's not much different where you are probably living now, the only problem is, you can't get the Morris estate just because you have a tabby, and you can't take over the petting zoo and be a playmate pet if you are a guy, and be a penthouse pet if you are a girl, unless you cheat.
If you find these things, you are fortunate, but if you ask the average person they may say that even if they had something like that, it wouldn't last long, and it might cause more problems down the line.
So, in fairness to the people who have a certain lifestyle, I give some credit for a successful search, but honestly, you don't get paid money to curse the Governor to make people think you are the worst enemy, and the fresher the money is, the more authorities suspect you of being a counterfeiter.
Periodically, we all have some time to sit and think about life and where we are taking it, and some may call that leisure. If you had to take more then your usual share of leisure time, what would you do with it?
Now, if your leisure time were to extend far enough that you would not have any difficulties doing what you want, you would have people running after you with cameras, trying to figure out why you are so happy-go-lucky and fancy free. You wouldn't like that after about two months; or in some cases, people may last two years before they are tired of it.
You will get tired of it.
It's like a barbed wire fence to have fame sometimes, and everyone thinks it's so great. It is illusory that you will have so much fun and so many friends, and you have no idea what it costs you. If you want to be famous, work hard enough for it.
Take it from me, if you are well-known, it better be for a good reason, or they will tear you apart.
Thanks for your time,
Bruce W. Raulston
