The road less travelled is less travelled for very good reasons

[robinturner]

It has come to my attention that almost all of the problems in my life are the result of taking responsibility. In particular, taking responsibility for the well-being of others is the kind of good intention which the road to Hell is said to be paved with.

My advice to those who are still young enough not to make the mistakes I made ...

1. Live for transient pleasures - they are much better, and provide better memories than the fruits of diligent labour.
2. Only enter into relationships where the other person is unlikely to make demands on you. One-night stands are the best, but casual dating is OK.
3. Never take any job that offers the prospect of long-term employment. Jobs that involve helping people are OK, so long as the people concerned piss off quickly - school crossing attendant is good.
4. Donate a small part of your income to worthy causes, so that you can forget about them.

Actually probably not such a good idea, but I needed to let off steam!
