Built on Lies and Fears

Childhood Keith,

Don’t be the compliant child. Don’t follow the rules. Most importantly, like the bumper sticker says, question authority. Someday you will write a novella entitled Living Under the Bleachers.

Understand all that dogma you were trained to bow down to will not make you happy and most of the rule’s parents laid down, they broke, yet you bought their excuses hook, line, and sinker. These are the stories that will never be recorded for posterity. Nature or nurture, I do not know, but we all have stories. Yours will be built on lies and fear.

Sincerely,

Adult Keith
