Love as opposed to cohabitation for financial purposes.

Trust as opposed to analysing people's behaviour in terms of what they want from you.

Metaphors in conversation instead of exact statements. They cut down on the time needed to communicate.

That's three for you.

Trust as opposed to analysing people's behaviour in terms of what they want from you.

Please walk through the bad part of town at 3AM tomorrow night with trust and a thick wallet and give us a full report.

Before then though, you can explain to us and to the people that TRUSTED corporate America's fincancial statemenst and lost trillions of dollars in fraud, how their trust benefitted them.

I thought of one - prostitutes



irrational thought typically ups the paranoia, which in turn increases your chances of instantly picking up a little self control and getting the fuck outta that situation before you wind up with herpes or something
