It's A Matter of Trust

It’s A Matter of Trust

Trust what I say
And do what you’re told
And surely all your dirt will turn into gold.
(Van Morrison, from the song, “The Mystery”)

Never trust a skinny Chef or fat Banker.
Never trust a sickly Doctor or poor Lawyer.
Never trust a loud musician or rich artist.
Never trust an eloquent Politician or tight-lipped executive.
Never trust a farmer in a business suit or a preacher in blue jeans.
Never trust an indispensable man or a man for all seasons.
Never trust a stampeding mob or solitary man.
Never trust a swaggering Captain or a man who kills animals for sport.
Never trust a man who is obsessed with his looks or a woman who cares little about grooming.
Never trust a man who considers himself a citizen of the world or a man fearful of life beyond his family.
Never trust a multinational business or a church with a worldwide reach.
Never trust a man who does not drink or a woman who does not cry.
Never trust a free lunch or 15% interest.

Always trust the wife who says, it really matters little or the husband who says, I’ll take care of it, somehow, someway.
Always trust the little girl with bouncing curls and giggling gate as she throws her arms around your neck and says, give me a kiss, grandpa.
Always trust the little boy with flashing sneakers and a dirty tee shirt and says, let’s shoot some baskets, grandpa.
Always trust an angry man and a vengeful woman.
Always trust your heart in matters of love and your gut in matters of finance.

A final quote:
“The world’s cemeteries are full of indispensable men.”
