You can never anticipate where your surfing will take you and true to form I have ended up with Bob. The key within a key was Facebook and a contibutor to the book's Ushaw Moor site. I like Bob Marley's music but [if the given quote is correct] like a lot of fine professionals his lyrics do not always stand up to scrutiny. I refer to the notion that you can waste a lot of time dwelling on things instead of moving on. Yes you have to move on: there is no point in being a glutton for nostalgia at the expense of both the present and the future; the thing is some problems do have to be worked out and learnt from otherwise how can we grow up? Life long learning is not just a catchy phrase!
The notion that everyone will disappoint you is absolutely wrong. There are some wholesome people in the world and it is just a question of finding them. It is true that life can be perceived to suck; rip off merchants are there to be seen but the seeing is often too late. Charlatans abound - as do some powerful and assertive people that sometimes trample all over your dreams - but please hold onto the notion that the world is not entirely short of heroes.
By the way I have trouble spelling the female version of hero because it makes such a person sound like a dangerous drug!
