The idea that you can "protect" someone by giving them *less* knowledge is just so trivially fucking stupid on the face of it.

Of course, you can certainly protect yourself by giving other people less information, which is 100% the actual point.

“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”

The Truth About Life …

1. Things never, ever go according to your plan.

2. You’ll always meet with unexpected snags and obstacles.

3. Not everyone will like you, or want to be your friend.

4. We all lose motivation and want to ditch our dreams.

5. Success is transitory; the happiness will pass.

6. We all get disappointed and let down by our friends

7. But attitude is everything – we choose how to react.

8. There’s always something good, if we will only look for it.

9. There are those who ‘play it forward’, and who’re helpful, warm and kind.

10. And life is full of chances, new beginnings and fresh starts.
