Unasked for Advice

There are different ways to spend your life. You can start ploughing your garden, attempt sewing your clothes, you might want to classify your cds. By all means these are useless activities, they don't bring fame. One day you might decide baking your own sourdough bread. This is a complicated process. It takes more than 2 weeks, and the starter needs constant care. It has to be taken to work, on city trips, and you will have to get up for it in the middle of the night. Much flour will have to be thrown away. There is the risk you might have to start the process all over again after a week. It is easy to make mistakes. But when you finally manage to bake the loaf, the result will be gigantic. It will have to be shared with everyone you meet.

There will be many people tasting the bread.
There will be some people who might tell you have better things to do.
They will suggest you have to buy your bread in a shop.
They don't intend you harm, these people.
They only want the best for you.
They want to warn you for the pitfalls in life.

Then take your loaf and start running. There is nothing as dangerous as good advice.
