From a very young age I followed this saying. It protected me from the worst of life. [View all]

"Life is too short". What does that mean to me? It means life is too short to deal with any kind of bullshit from people. All people, including friends, family, people at work, etc.

I am getting close to retirement age now. I have seen it all. I have watched what has happened to people who allow bullshit to be part of their lives. Their lives have been insane. They have wrecked their lives.

I did not get married until I was 40 years old. Not because I didn't want to, because I could not find someone who would not bring bullshit to my life. I dated many women and there were a couple of them that I really loved. I loved everything about them except I knew if I married them I would have to deal with the bullshit they had in them. When I turned 40 I met a woman from brazil and I soon realized she was like me. No bullshit involved. We have been married for 20 years now, No bullshit in sight.

When I faced bullshit at work I fought back. It was brutal because sometimes I had to fight alone. When I faced bullshit from friends I stopped hanging around with them.

When I faced bullshit from family I disowned them. That's the truth.

Today in America the people are dealing with complete bullshit. Trump is complete bullshit. The people who support him are complete bullshit. All what we are watching is complete bullshit.

My wish , my dream, is one day the American people will understand, "Life is too short"
