A single theme is clear with these folks I have treated, they surrounded themselves with the wrong people, they lose sight of what their "purpose" is and goals.

those cou
ple sentences sum up so much in life,
@ the very least I can apply it in my life...and looking back over a longer period of time one can see how those choices affects you, you could draw it on a graph and see which direction you are going, towards or away from your goals, and that's for people who still have goals as some may not have had any, and some may have accomplished them all already
Ask yourself how do you rate on the food chain.
Their is being intelligent and smart and then their is being negligent but I bet most do not recognize they are negligent in their dealings.
in most situations their are tell tell signs that would indicate you should not do the deal or arrangement with the person and it is either ignored and not even recognized.
Just using sound principals and sticking to them while maintaining common sense judgement even in the face of temptation. Do not be afraid to walk away from a deal
beezle,
thats quite abit of sound & straight forward wisdom IMO....
It is good to hava clear, reality based picture of who you are... and it is good to listen to those "gut feelings" that you have, because in my experience they are mostly if not always correct IMO
and it is good to not jump at things that sound too good, or hav to happen right now, just like buying a timeshare, it'll still be there tomorrow, I think I'm saying not to do things out of desperation without thought
Hopefully, one won't have to learn to many hard lessons in the process.
I learned some hard lessons that hurt those closest to me as well, both earlier on in life and more recently, and the ones when you're older affect you more than when you're a kid....
I think these last few posts provide quite a bit of wisdom and point you in a diferent direction than effecting retribution,,, in fact these may very well keep you alive and outta prison...
Buddy hemp,
but I also liked the post saying there is no substitute for a can of mace/pepper spray and a telescopic baton...I think that mace is the best tool you can have to put a bad situation to your advantage instantly,, it is silent, quick, effective from ten feet away, concealable, inexpensive... that spray gives you time to think and act effectively... you can either escape a bad place, or you can stay and mess someone up with either a slap in the head or smashing a kneecap and walk away cuz they can't see hardly from the mace,, they didnt have the telescopic batons back then but we had the flat leather black jacks , u could get a 8 or 16 ouncer,in fact the larger one was called "the texan", it was a flat leather one, or get the springy round saps ( model # T-96 ),, (My bro called it 96 TEARS, cuz that was what you got from it quick!) with laced leather to inflict the most damage if you're sadistic... ok enuff on combat..lol
of course its best to avoid all of that risk by making smart choices that lead you to an unrisky lifestyle I hope everybody does it that way always cuz bad things happen too fast, and going out for retribution can instantly turn into a serious charge, manslaughter and worst,,, I mean geez, ya punch someone in the head, they fall and hit the curb, it splits open , they die, your locked up and having to deal and feel the effects of causing someone's death, you can LOSE everything in a bad new york second, just cuz you wanted revenge.... and when i was 25 yrs old, it was worth it to me sometimes, BUT now, I'm more than a lil older, a lil more wisdom, a lil smarter, and not willing to risk hurting those close to me, getting hurt myself, getting busted & getting locked cuz someone stole my plants or whatever,,, and then it is easy for me to say, cuz I never tooka big hit for $100K of plts or whatever...I'm certain there are many who would use you for plant food if you burnt them for 100large, but people in the business of burning people are willing to risk their life for it
True story without details
two siblings from a strong arm type crew were robbing marijuana dealers/growers , apperently cuz they were"connected", they could do this without any issues, and musta picked their targets accordingly
I know someone personally , well friend of a friend, but this guy was robbed three times in less than two years,,,,each time, either 2 or 3 intruders at nightime forced their way into multifamily home, and at gunpoint, zip tied up the occupants, and stole weed, pills, and cash,, each time, cash along was 4-5 k,,, almost sounds like the two siblings above, some wrong ethnicity here, these were young gang bangers in hoodies with saggy pants on
but if you dont work/deal with your eyes open then you WILL get taken somehow, someway by somebody
reminds me of Candid Camera, the old tv show,,, there's agive away to my age
when you least expect it, your elected... blah blah blah blah blahhh smmmillleeee, your on candid camera

most stoned reply in over for now
