Once upon a time there was a person who was a fool, and they stayed that way. They would never listen to advice. They would never study to gain information either secular or sacred.
They had a hard head and every day it grew harder, a cruel heart and ever day it grew more mean, a weak soul and as the days passed they did nothing to improve the twisted and dark path down which they passed.
They cursed God, found fault with people, carried a chip on his shoulder, and never sang a song. They found every day more miserable than the last and blamed everybody and everything but themselves.
And one day they died, unblessed, unlovely and unloved, a destiny never having found their better self, a life wasted.
Once upon a time…every life begins that way, and an unknown number of tomorrows stretch ahead – to what?
