I trust people to act in their own best self interest with no concern for anyone else and I am rarely disappointed.
very, very, VERY fuckin sad...
buuuuut true...
and i'm a notorious optimist..
but expect little from people and you'll be rarely disappointed, while conversely when you DO actually find a cool person, they can surprise you in a super awesome fuckin way.
for example, I've been helping new growers on this site for yrs (i just like to help people) so this dude pm'ed me to figure out some organic tips, so like always, I gave him whatever advice I had.
I never ask for anything at all, i'm just wired the way I am, and helping people is enough satisfaction for me.
Anyways, so fast forward a month or two later, he is super stoked that the advice I gave him is working well, so the next thing I know, he says he is sending me two full packs of Bodhi seeds in the mail.
See?
how fuckin cool is that?
and i'd give him a public shout-out, except that he is in an illegal state... annnnnd sending packs through the mail.... is sorta a federal offense..
so he'll be nameless for now
but my point is, I NEVER expected anything like that, and he is a stand up dude, and he hooked me up.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I've helped probably 25 growers, at least. Nobody ever did anything like that.
cool dude for sure.
