The Scales …



I have realized that people are hurting. I do not want to add to that pain.
But then again, I think you need to know your crowd. Do not be a source of pain. Be a blessing instead.
Sometimes, it is just hard not to rub someone the wrong way! Yes you’ll bless someone and step on another in some cases. Sugarcoating anything is just wrong!
And, for that, I should go back to high school and whip the career master!
I wish I could just be quiet on some things. Okay, that’s a bad wish.
I take it back!
Recently, I read a very funny article on one of our people and their poor culinary skills. I couldn’t agree more! I agreed with that piece because it really says it in black and white. There is no gray area. And, whatever is mentioned there is quite right.
Because of that piece, I will frequent that blog from now on. Not because I know the guy, not because of anything but, because of the good writing. It makes me happy. It turns out, I like to be happy.
You know, everything has its positives and negatives. You just have to take the good with the bad. And don’t focus on the bad because it will just create a ripple effect on you!

That’s why I do not understand parents when they bash their kids. How do you even not feel pain? What’s with this entire perfection thing? Where did it come from? Who told you that your kids will not make mistakes? Why were you copulating without rubber if you didn’t need kid drama? Appreciate what you’ve got. Why are you comparing kids? So what, if the other kid is good at what not, and yours is not?
Have you ever thought that the kid you are bashing is very good at something? Take the good with the bad. That’s the secret to life!
It is impossible to have the cake and to eat it. So, anything is possible. Why not try this?
Be real too.
That reminds me;
I went visiting a kid in high school (in case you didn’t know, my country has boarding schools for kids and you get to see them on certain set days. I don’t like it but, you cannot run away from reality). He was shouted at because of bad grades. I wanted to run out of that vehicle and just get away.
Whatever we were eating became sand in my mouth. Of course I ate. It happens to be my strong point. Nothing can make me not eat when I am hungry.
I hope I don’t make such a bad parent. Well, to me, that wasn’t good! If it is for you, good for you! I think you are just positive!
Sorry, that’s a lie! I think you are deluded!
Maybe that’s why I loved another family which just made you feel at home, welcome anytime, at peace and they’d make jokes about almost anything. Nothing looked impossible!
Wow! I still remember that experience as one of the best experiences of my life.
 I was sorry that this guy got such treatment from his own parents but, maybe they thought they were helping. Helping him study, helping him to know how to cope with the world out there e.t.c.
But, negative reinforcement is not a good thing. Yes, you may get results much more quickly but you will have to live with the consequences.
Positive reinforcement is the real deal.
This went against every fiber in my body but, I was just another visitor who obviously got tongue-tied. I have never gone back there for the whole duration of the high school term and I wouldn’t want to find myself in such a situation. I won’t be quiet this time! I think that’s just wrong and weird!
And, I will end up being labeled! I don’t want that!
You see? Posts like this one support self-esteem and touch the nerve of the parents! I understand the parents are human but, does that really excuse such behavior? There is just no way around anything! Sigh …
I call this a real dilemma!
Maybe that’s why people prefer silence. Maybe they see the bigger picture. Who knows!
I won’t give you the link because it will just crack your ribs if you have an idea of what is being talked about or you will really sulk. It depends with your philosophical pull. But, that article tore me to pieces (In a nice way). It cracked my ribs!  It revealed the thoughts hidden in our safe place but which are hard (okay, for most) to voice. And, I get it. If you say such words where these people flock, you won’t make it alive! Trust me.
Seriously, if something is bad, I don’t see the need to call it good unless, you are talking to a child. My motto: If you don’t have anything nice to say, be quiet instead. I know my blog is just the opposite! Seriously, I cannot compare it to Joel’s books. Perhaps, I should start now.  I can’t stop typing! I won’t tell you anything bad. I will type it! If it is personal, you will get an earful! And I won’t be sorry.
But, don’t ever think I will be your puppet! No way! I am built to voice my opinion. And, I will voice it! But, I also know that not every time is time to talk. There are times when silence really works well. Times when someone really wants to make a fool of their selves, time like that visiting I’ve just told you about, e.t.c.
I think any adult should take the good and leave the bad. What does not serve you should not bother you. Let’s call it a passing storm!
Actually, self-esteem is really good. You don’t have to please anyone. You are just you! I think more people should emulate this.
I like to see the good in everything. Yes, I could have sulked because I am in that group being pointed fingers at but, that article was an eye opener. It was real, unexpected and straight to the point.
I had to say this because I can come off as being perfect and very able to point out people’s mistakes. That is not so. I also have my mistakes and I regret them like you can’t believe!
But, I don’t dwell in my mistakes. I move on. Whatever needs to be set right is set right but at the right time not just haphazardly! Mistakes can be very good stepping stones if you let them. They can also be your downfall if you let them. Be wise.
What I need to learn, is the art of saying I am wrong even when I know I am right. That’s just hard!
I don’t get it. I doubt I ever will. I don’t please people nowadays. I do what I know is right for me.
Of course in my eyes, I am perfect! Mistakes and all!
Couples, advise me! I’m so surprised, I am not!

Physical Attraction vs. Mental Attraction



I have always known that physical attraction will be the downfall of the human male species. Women can adapt. They always have, anyway.  Of course they adapt while making a serious fuss! I would too, but I guess I’ll remain neutral here. Weigh both sides and go to the winning side. That’s my style.  
Mental attraction on the other hand is powerful and it is what sets aside couples who are meant to be and those who got together because of other things (feel free to substitute “other things” with your words of choice).
Now, I am looking for a mental partner and I won’t settle for anything less! Seriously, I’d rather be single my whole life than hook up with looks! I can’t deal with the embarrassment of correcting someone every time!
Ever wondered why that guy cheated on you? Well, let me put your mind to rest today. Physical attraction! If you don’t believe me, ask Helen of Troy. She may be dead, but her actions stir souls to this day.
Women do crazy things to the views held by this world. I want to believe I am among this group. Crazy defines me and I love it!
So next time you want to shack up, consider the intelligence. If it is not compatible, walking away will save you from heartache. True story. Don’t compromise. Your soul mate is out there wondering why you have taken so long!
Yes, love is so beautiful. You can’t even begin to explain it! Well, guess what? Even most divorces and those in bad marriages started that way. They all say that love was beautiful. They couldn’t help it. They tied the knot which tied them together and finally killed whatever love they thought they had.
Love is very tricky! But, because you think you understand it, go ahead. Don’t say you weren’t warned. Unless, of course, you like short relationships. I mean, you do not intend to ever marry or get married. Or maybe you like divorces and separations, I don’t know …
People have given up on love because of its complexity! But, then again, it is so simple!
Why do you think so many people today don’t believe in love? They have suffered heartbreaks or they know a story about someone who has been through one. They chose not to believe in it. Unfortunately, love doesn’t care whether you believe in it or not.
Cupid! That small man is conniving! He’s also bitter and doesn’t want to see you succeed where he hasn’t. Follow him at your own risk!
Personally, that’s a guy I can shoot on sight! If he exists, anyway. I doubt he does! Otherwise, what does he eat? Where does he sleep? So many things about him don’t make sense!
By the way, mental attraction will always come with physical attraction. It is hard to separate the two especially when mental attraction rules. If the attraction is purely physical, it won’t last. Ask most celebrities!
So go ahead and date but be sure to check intelligence and whether it attracts you or not. If it is physical, only you will have to deal with a broken heart. Oh, and that other somebody who dated you may also feel a pinch in losing you! But some people have deserts in place of “hearts”. That should be the eighth wonder!
Mental attraction can drive you crazy. Physical attraction is so replaceable I don’t know why I am talking about it. That’s why you will notice there are so many pretty ladies and so many handsome men. Unfortunately, most handsome men are gay! The women go back and forth. I wouldn’t know if men feel the pain of having so many untouchable hot women. I should ask someone about it. Don’t tell me about orgies and whatever “somes” … That is sick parading as normal, creepy, distasteful and stupid.
It is stupid because the repercussions send ripples down generations. The origin of this cannot know what happy means. No wonder juvenile delinquents are so many. Ask about their histories. You will be surprised! Unfortunately, these children didn’t choose this life!
What irony! Physical attraction vs. mental attraction! People really get heartbroken here! If you know how to decide, good for you! If you are undecided, that’s your problem to solve. I can’t help you. No one can, even if they would like to.
So when I hear about divorces, broken marriages, separations e.t.c. And both parties don’t look like they should be fighting, I know the union was unreal. By the way, most divorcees look good! I’m yet to see an ugly divorcee.
That reminds me;
Once, I was in a supermarket when a couple went to the cashier to pay. The lady was pretty. The guy was not what the lady wanted (or so it seemed to me).  Maybe, I was wrong then and I am now. But, you know why I concluded so? The actions! If you ask me, that guy looked like a cross between a giraffe and something else (probably, a warthog)! No offense. It is supposed to mean tall plus not so good looking when this worlds SI unit is used.
The lady was embarrassed by him everywhere and at all times, but, since he paid, he was not a reject to her.
(Forgive the misspelling ...! I also hate it!)
 
Such situations make you reflect. People notice whatever you want to hide. They are never stupid. But, those people are strangers, so they don’t matter. But, actions do. At least remember that.
I don’t know what went down in that relationship, but I wouldn’t want to be grouped with them!
I honestly felt embarrassed for them.
Why not find someone who is not embarrassed by you? Also, get someone who doesn’t embarrass you.



So anyone who really is into you will show you. You will just know if the love is mental or physical. Pay attention! If you don’t connect and you are in the relationship for certain pluses (finances, beauty, e.t.c.) then that marriage won’t last. I’m not jinxing it, just utilizing candor.
I’m not saying that you marry a pauper, or someone with no looks because finances and beauty can kill a union, rather I am saying that you get into a relationship because you are a better you and you feel connected to this person. Otherwise, we will learn from you. Thanks, in advance!
If not, man, you are joking! Anyway, it is your life so be the joke you want to be! That will be on you. Talk about choice! Another name would be free will. Feel free to create a joke. The joke will be so bad, hurt so many people and backfire on your ass!
Anyway, enough with the attractions.
So, where does your relationship lie among the two categories?
By the way, don’t break up because of my words. Enjoy your relationship. Feel happy to be in it. It is a privilege and an honor. Don’t ever take it for granted.
But, remember, there is a time for everything. 
There is a time to be real ...

Of Obnoxious People …



Jesus! I can’t begin to express my annoyance! If you want to be obnoxious, do so in your private time. Please also do so, away from people. Nobody enjoys these bad habits! Even your own brain should tell you that whatever you think you are doing is insane! Don’t gross people out!
I can’t even believe that you are so comfortable making a fool out of yourself in the presence of so many people. I mean, and you wonder why people hate you? Really? No one likes gross. Don’t be fooled. Gross is just, gross!
You know, I think if you have something that people don’t appreciate. Change it. That is, if it is gross. If it is not gross, then it means that you are in the wrong crowd.
Don’t assume something is not gross because you think so. People around you will tell you somehow. Their actions will betray how good or bad your actions are. Be attentive.
(Pay attention pix)
And don’t justify yourself. Be honest with yourself. Find out what is wrong and correct it.
The best thing about truth is that it sets you free. You feel because you just have to. Even the critics, like me, will respect that your actions are a wonder.
Never ask why you are so hated when you are so obnoxious. Stop with the obnoxious muse and begin to feel the warmth of people around you. Feel cold if you are alone because of your bad habits. Don’t ask why! And no! You are no wolf!
But, if you feel okay being obnoxious, remember that you will pay for it at one time. And, you will pay dearly. That’s given.
I think some things are obvious. Feel free to enhance the list!

Some Obnoxious Habits Include:

Spitting
Sorry to say, this habit is very rampant in some parts of this country. I hear there are restaurants that even advise people not to spit in the sinks. Surely!
What is wrong with you? Do you have too much saliva you don’t know what to do with it? Your salivary glands are overworking? Or is it a crisis of some sort?
Or do you have a relationship with your saliva that you have to see it? And who told you that other people have to see it too? Who also told you that other people enjoy it when you strain to display it?
Shame on you! You are not getting a root canal at a dentist lab! He has an office! You don’t see him do procedures there. If he does, that’s a quack! Run!
 One word, Gross!

Of Boogers
I can’t begin to imagine that some people eat (no offense) their own boogers! Yuck! How hungry are you for boogers? Even if your mother or guardian or whoever raised you didn’t teach you good manners, this happens to be a no-brainer! Even animals cannot do this! Some display their sticky fingers for all to see! How do you do that and then go ahead and plaster your biological things on other people’s belongings, anything around you or wherever? Are you nuts? Like, really nuts?
You may think that the habit is harmless but, it is really not. It is a bad habit! You need to unlearn it!  Removing those things with your bare hands is a grave offense!  Even when eating them doesn’t cross your mind. It is a bad habit that needs urgent attention.
You don’t care about the public? You don’t care what people say? Guess what? One fine day, you and your boogers will be gone. Smoke through a keyhole? Nah! That exit is too slow!
Just imagine what a pleasure it will be to hang out with a booger-free you! And even if they are there (of course they will be because you produce more mucus than you think) let them stay inside the nasal canal. If you want to remove them, use a handkerchief and do so in private.
Not everybody will bear with your cluttered nose!
Next time, you will remove boogers during dinner, important functions and when you shouldn’t!
You can let go of bad habits if you want.
If you know what boogers are and you still poke your fingers in there where you feel them, you probably needed no nose!
Your fingers will never fit in your nose! Why are you trying so hard to shove them up there?
Your boogers need space from your fingers!

Clipping Nails in Public
By the way, that big toe you like should be a personal affair!  Your spouse can paint your toes or fingers or teeth! That’s okay. Just do it at home and spare people the unwanted PDA.
And those nails should be taken to a professional once in a while! You can also keep your toes in your shoes. It works! Yeah, your pedicurist won’t tell you anything because he or she needs you to pay up. Why insult a paying customer? This should be their motto not the fine signs they put up for you to be beguiled easily.
By the way, fingers and their nails look good most times. They are well taken care of most times. It is always about maintenance, anyway. Toes, on the other hand! Horrific would be an understatement!
I don’t know what to say when the person next to you is noisily clipping their claws and the aftermath is landing on your lap, face, everywhere you call yours!
Some even makes it to the nearby neighbor minding his or her own business! Oh! They are never sorry!
I swear try that with me!
I almost forgot the smell in between toes! It is not athlete’s foot! You are just unhygienic! Period!
Who needs to inhale a bad smell form your toes? Keep it together! Jesus!
People are crazy! And, I mean the bad type of crazy! For real!

Cooking with Exposed Hair
Ever wonder why it is a crime to cook with exposed hair? Have you ever eaten a meal and found a strand of hair on it? I know, we don’t do it. Hell, I don’t do it. I guess I left that job to chefs and other cooks in the Kitchens. It is not gross when you are at home, but, for the public, you have to put on a cap.
Why is the public treated so well and our families are not? They are not lesser beings. They deserve the best treatment. Then only, can we give our all to strangers.
Of course, I am talking of treating your family well and not being obnoxious and expect them to treat you well. Don’t ever complain if you get what you deserve!
I think this habit should be implanted into our home kitchens. It prevents hair from entering the food when it is being prepared and cooked.
Hair is not edible and we are not in a forest in the medieval times! (Note to self!)

Not Flashing the Loo
Who are you? Do you enjoy it when other people see your s**t? Are you comfortable with yourself? Maybe nobody will tell you but, your shit is gross, it smells bad and nobody wants to flash it. Even your doctor won’t appreciate it, even if he is hardcore into poop! He doesn’t need to know it is yours. Trust me.
Recently, someone told me that he felt that his dignity had been lowered when a certain laboratory asked him for a stool sample. This made me laugh! It is funny but true!
Oh, I was saying, …
He or she is just tolerant. The one holding your rectal reject!
Hello? Why are public toilets feared? Even hospital toilets are public and they are gross!
Maintained toilets are less feared. They are not that gross but nobody will visit a dirty loo in their right mind. Unless, nature calls loudly and it becomes unbearable to ignore nature and you are out of options (if there exists such a bad excuse)!
If cow poop (the infected one) stinks so bad in the lab, what of man c**p.  Why do you think these people in the lab wear gloves and face masks? You have to be protected from that bad smell. You also don’t need infections originating from strange poop! If you work in a lab that loves economy, then, ask your boss to be more lenient on smells. You don’t have to tolerate that smell. You can faint doing your work! I don’t care how well you think you earn there!
I don’t know a lab that doesn’t efficiently use gloves. If there is, s**t just got real!
If you feel the need to take a dump, consider other people. These people are not there for you to take advantage of. They are there because a higher power placed them there. You don’t know God’s reasons for having them there. He alone can toy with them. And, guess what? He doesn’t!
So, next time you display your mess, remember that nobody will miss that!
Flash your poop. No one wants to see it!
One word, Gross!

Mucus Somewhere in or around your Throat (Inner side)
 I can’t find the right words to describe this. How annoying! I don’t care if your grandpa, grandma or siblings do it. It is just gross! It is loud and annoying! Are you that hungry you’d rather eat your own mucus? Even toddlers don’t do that. What is wrong with you?
If you see someone doing this when you are around, that someone doesn’t care about you, he’s trying to get rid of you or he’s just obnoxious (for lack of words to describe this situation). Run away! He’s/ she’s not worth your company. If however you don’t mind it, by all means, stay there forever!
Enjoy the grossness!
I know everyone has weaknesses but, not everyone is gross. If your weakness is gross, get rid of it. People are much better off without some grossness.
Let people breathe easy. They will respect you for that.
If respect means nothing to you, suit yourself. Maybe one day, you’ll learn and the lesson will stick.

Smelly Socks or Feet
Bowling! I can’t begin to express my annoyance at the lack of maintenance of bowling shoes! If you are not so lucky as to get a smelly pair, carry a pair of fresh socks and a can of Lysol!
So, you have an infection? And, why have you not seen the doctor? You know, the doctor can help you cope well with other people. Your condition is treatable, trust me. You do not have to gross people out with funny smells.
If you lack good hygiene, then it is on you!
We can understand an infection. Anybody would. We can’t understand poor hygiene.
I know someone who wears open shoes because you will run away if you stay next to him with closed shoes. His feet can’t breathe. He will have to enable them to have some air. And, sooner than you think, you won’t be able to breathe!
Of course there is oxygen. And, a lot of it. But something makes the oxygen poisonous!
You wanna talk poison? This is real poison!
Yes, people will tolerate you when you go into their homes smelling so bad, but they will never forget how you made them feel. There is a song that says “fungeni mlango, anakuja!”(Translation: Close the door, he or she is coming!).  Not that I like the song. It doesn’t fit in my taste list. This song describes a loose person and how people didn’t like it when he or she was around. I guess the person’s bad habits preceded his character! You know, that person brought the attention to himself! Not all attention is good.
Why are people hiding? Because of the bad record!
This is just a tip of the iceberg. There should be songs about every obnoxious habit. I won’t be sorry I play them loud!

Public Flossing
Ever smelt floss? It stinks! Even with the flavors put on the weird string! Of course, the cleaner, or doctor, or nurse or whoever does your hygiene routine will bear with it. It is so smelly. The things in between your teeth!  I think every fluid in the body smells when exposed to air. It doesn’t stink when it is in the body.
When you floss your teeth in public, you are not being considerate of others. You are just being gross!
Why can’t you floss in private? Did you ever think of others? It is good you want to be clean but, clean yourself in private.
Not everyone is a dentist!
I bet even the dentist won’t like it.

Wanking
Shame on you if you are this gross! How do you do this when there are other people around? Do whatever you are doing in private. Don’t excuse yourself in the name of horny. Nobody wants to see your whatever (I know the name. I don’t want to write it). You were alone, remember? There is a very stupid movie called “The Dictator”. It took years to make it in the list of movies made. I think whoever made it was crazy and stupid!
Yeah … I feel bad I’ve just written that (I can’t get a better name) but, someone had to. That someone is me.
Aladeen is just sick! But, then again, I think people like sick!

Removing Wax with Something Other Than an Ear bud
I have never understood why any package of ear buds says that you should never insert into the ear canal. I think that’s just funny.
It is funny considering the things people insert into the ear canals. Ballpoint pen lids, sticks (including toothpicks, matchsticks e.t.c.), and anything you can think of. One day, stones will make the list!
I’d rather you stay with your wax than be primitive enough to remove it with anything that can fit into your ear canal.
Seriously, use ear buds.
And by the way, if you could afford that internet connection so as to be able to read this post, you can afford ear buds!
Imagine they’re that cheap!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
So, try and cope well with people. Remember, your actions define you …
I have used public transport and one aspect that I would do better without is the aspect of gross hygiene. I once sat near a gentleman who told a smelly person to open the window. I almost laughed! That person stunk!
It is relieving to note that I wasn’t the only one offended.
If enough people voice their opinions about him, he’d have been told to alight. But, people just kept quiet. We paid for that silence!
So decide what you want: silence or the smell. Make an informed choice. These two don’t co-exist!
Somebody once told me that a person was forced to alight from a vehicle (public, of course) because he stank.
My question is, if you think you can get away with stink, why not use your own vehicle and go alone. Also, clean the car. And also deal with machines. They don’t mind the smell!
The cab driver is also human. He doesn’t need you to stink up his cab to make a living.
You know, cleanliness is next to Godliness.
By the way, have you noticed something concerning this post? Every gross habit has a biological something!
Biology is just gross and also worth it! Leave it to those who can deal with it. But, don’t say you weren’t told!
If you don’t do gross, don’t work in a hospital. Unless you deal with the machinery or paperwork or drugs. That’s very okay.
Don’t do laundry, don’t clean, and don’t try anything that puts your health in jeopardy. Your bravery might just be your ticket to hell! I can’t guarantee your journey back from hell. You may just prefer to stay there because of the horrors that await you!
Anyway, not all bad habits are as a result of biology.
But, you should know that biological fluids can really be gross!
I mean it.
The nurses, have a gift of tolerating sick people. Hands down, they are gifted. The not so gifted, run away or make very bad nurses! It is okay, find your niche.
Well, not all caregivers are gifted. Some have no calling. They are just there for the benefits. But, life tends to separate the gifted from the not so gifted. That’s just the way it is. It is not my doing!
I think I should write more about these bad habits.
Some habits are just terrible!
The best thing is, if you can, tell that person to live very far away from you.  If you work with them, good luck to you! It goes without saying that, the further away you are from such people, the better you will feel.  You will breathe easier too.
If you can’t, find a therapist! You will need help!
Your actions define you.
Obnoxious people wanted to be obnoxious in the first place. I think they deserve to enjoy the fruits of their obnoxious labor!
Anyway, I am not making fun of the sick.
I get it.
This post doesn’t have a picture depicting obnoxiety anywhere! If it has, why should I bother uploading it?
I think that’s a good sign!

Drafting and Editing



I have been told over and over about drafting. There is nothing as boring as drafting. It is like doodling, only that there are specifics.
Not everyone can draft. Most of my reputed works did not start as a draft. I just wrote what I thought and voila!
My drafted pieces lack zest. They are structured and lack authenticity.
Who said you have to draft something in order to get a nice piece?
I think drafting wastes my precious time. Once I have a thought, I cannot draft it. How? I’ll simply type it and move on.
Drafting is the recipe for forgetting important information. But, maybe it works for you. Who knows!
Drafting is just overrated!
Who said you have to draft something in order to get a nice piece?
Although drafting lays a strong foundation for those who are into drafts. Let me not totally discredit it.
Editing is boring. Everything that you can think of that is not classified as a virtue pretty much defines editing.
I rarely edit anything. For some, it is a job while for others, it is a requirement. The latter defines me.
Well, I really don’t have to do it but I will pay for it, if I don’t do it. So, I have to do it. I wish I never had to do it.
You know, I admire the patience of book editors. Hundreds of pages and they all have to be edited. Wow!
I guess if you love something, it becomes a part of you and you don’t notice the work involved.
If you do, then you don’t love that whatever. Walk away now when you can.
I notice the work in edition because I do not have a driving force for editing.
I am not going to culture one now. I truly don’t see how it affects my enthusiasm for well written pieces.
Well written pieces need editing for the reader but there is something that keeps you glued.
Editing is important. No one wants to read a piece with hundreds of flaws especially those with OCD.
I think if someone has talent in an area, the best thing would be to urge him or her on. Unfortunately, editing does the opposite to writing! It is like a sore you can’t ignore but you wish it was never there in the first place.
Since, no good thing comes without a price, the price of writing is editing!
I have not encountered someone who writes and loves to edit. And, editors can’t write like an author would. It is always a choice between one and the other.
Most editors are paid to correct grammar, review posts, blah … blah … by writers.
Editing is like finishing a house. So much work goes into building and construction but the eyes only see a finished house as beautiful. Hehehe …
By the way, an unfinished building is an eyesore.
Anyway, most other aspects of life are like that. I’m not saying it is right. I am saying that do not expect fairness in life. Just because the builders really worked on a building does not mean they should compete with the finishers!  It doesn’t work that way.  If you doubt me, ask writers and editors!
That is why you will never compare successfully. Let your passion guide you. (I wonder why most school teachers never bothered to say this in black and white. Beating about the bush is not good for students!)
I can’t help laughing …
Try finishing anything that wasn’t started…
Also, learn to finish anything you start. Otherwise, why start anything in the first place? Even God finishes what He starts. It is called order. If you doubt my words, name only one thing that is unfinished by God. I will believe you.

So next time you reference an editor, don’t ask unnecessary questions like who’s the author?
Does it matter to you?
And, what are you going to do with that information?
