I am just a simple man who fell short of becoming the 'King of the World'. The reality is that such a dream may have been more of a fantasy for my Mother than for myself because for myself, I've just always wanted to do what was right. Unfortunately, that has often meant disappointment because most people find more pleasure in helping themselves as opposed to helping others.

For the last 10 plus years, I have stepped outside of the realm of what is considered "normal" by society and am much happier. That is not to say that I have joined a commune or moved into a cave but I have removed much of the false realism's that are prevalent in this world. I loathe television, especially the main stream News and I tend to shy away from radio as well. I read no newspaper or magazine print and instead, research the areas that interest me, in "My'" time.

The clarity in my mind and my ability to absorb and understand the things I study is a constantly amazing aspect of my new found freedom and I will never return to a time when I waited to be informed. The days of a salivating Pavlovian dog, waiting on the News to tell me what was happening in my own world are long gone. Planning my life and constantly reinventing myself based on someone else's ideas are well behind me and will never return. The most important factor is that I will never again allow myself to accept lies for truth.

While I may not live in a palace nor have a lot of money, I accept this as being normal and instead, greatly appreciate the things I can claim as my own. The most valuable asset I have is myself and I have found it to be a most remarkable asset, indeed. I generously share it with anyone who asks and it gives me immediate pleasure in doing so but there is another phenomenal aspect to this portfolio that I find totally amazing. That is the fact that the rate of return can never be matched because it continually renews itself in deposits with every withdrawal and there is no service charge.

Perhaps I should also point out the fact that I also will do no business with the banking industry. I can find no logical reason to be involved in a criminal enterprise because I am also, not a criminal. Aside from my Mothers original fantasy, I do have one of my own that I'd like to share. That simple idea is that, one day, the rest of the world will find the total bliss I have found and to share it as well. Thanks.
