AND WHAT IS IT THAT I COULD TELL YOU, THAT YOU WOULD BELIEVE. I AM OLDER NOW. HOWEVER IN A DIFFERENT LIFE, I PRACTICED LAW FOR OVER 15 YEARS. STRICLY IN THE AREA OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE.
BY SOME STANDARDS I WAS MORE THEN MODESTLY SUCCESSFUL AT MY CRAFT. OTHERS WOULD SAY THAT SUCCESS IS NOT MEASURED IN MONETARY TERMS,BUT RATHER IN LIFE TERMS. ME,I WAS CLEARLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
DURING THAT TIME IN MY LIFE, I CAME TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS NATURAL FOR MY "CLIENTS" TO SAY AND BELIEVE, HE WHO LIES MOST CONVINCINGLY, WINS.
THE PRACTICE OF LAW TO ME WAS NOT A PROFESSION, IT WAS A LIFE STYLE.
AS AN ATTORNEY WHO REPRESENTED THE TYPE OF CLIENTS, OF WHICH MY PRACTICE WAS BASED, QUICKLY LEARNS THAT THE OBJECT OF GOOD ORATORY WAS NOT TRUTH, BUT RATHER, PERSUASION.
WHO WAS I THEN, IS A QUESTION I HAVE NEVER ASKED. WHO I AM NOW IS FOR YOU TO DECIDE.
I DO KNOW THAT TRUE "WISDOM" CAN ONLY BE THE RESULT OF EXPERIENCE, BOTH GOOD AND BAD..........OR AT LEAST IT BETTER BE.
AND THAT,IS WHAT, BROUGHT ME, TO THE "POND"
Look how far we have come, all the different paths we have followed, and yet, you are, STILL the"ONE". And here is where we will stay, at least, during this beginning. And still, you are the "ONE" that I have always dreamed of, a True Companion.
