What would happen if the lawyers were sorry for Derek Chauvin instead of George Floyd? Would they be told you can't do that?
I'm so sorry you have had the disease you have for so long officer Chauvin, we're gonna get you some help for your racism, you poor thing. We don't even know you, but we are, we are heartfelt and emotional for you. You have have our sympathy.

I'd rather someone had a negative view of me than a false positive one. At least it's their view of me, and not a view I forced them to have because I was desperate to prove I didn't care what anybody thought of me. Of course I care as much as the next guy/girl what other people think of me, but they're still going to think what they are going to think anyway, and that's the reality of it.

The two mice were in the creme, the first one drowned, and the second one ket struggling until it vhurned the creme into butter and crawled out until it could walk. So it didn't walk on water, but it did make it out of something that was liquid, until it could walk on solid ground again.
One thing is certain when all else seems uncertain if you don't keep struggling, you will be the mouse that drowns. You sink or you swim intil you can walk again, and once you can walk again, you start to have options of what to do and what not to do. Life is worth losing, so the worst case scenario is you end up the mouse that drowns or geys sick. Is that really the horror story the media tries to make it seem to be?

The point of practice is not to try and outdo somebody else or to try and do/be better than someone else (or get the best of them). The point of practice is to improve over who you were yesterday, since nobody is close to perfect. That is why it's never enjoyable when an uber competitive person is around, they are always trying to get the better of somebody else, and they think that the world thinks like them.
Practice doesn't make perfect, there is no perfect. Perfect is something you try and get closer to, 100 percent of your potential.

Somebody that tries for the image of a shark, and might even start claiming to be a shark and calling themselves one when they get desperate to get respected, even though nobody that knows them thinks they're anything like a shark.
The mama's boy/girl started calling himself/herself a shark, but everybody else thinks he/she is a bad fish, since there's plenty more like him/her.
