Some people are born lucky - you're one my friend. Most people spend their lives worrying - you haven't a care in the world. Most people spend their lives in fear - you fear nothing. Most people have someone they hate - you hate no one. Most people are unhappy all their lives, never satisfied - I've never seen anyone enjoy life more than you my friend. You'll never understand what I'm saying, but don't feel bad boy, because most other people won't either - because most people don't know you.
