Be careful how you go about bailing people out of their perceived predicaments. You might be doing them (as well as yourself) more harm than good in so doing; that's what he meant. If you want to help someone out, then do it through a charitable organization or a welfare plan, of sorts, never on a one-on-one basis, no hand-to-mouth. There are lessons in each of life's experiences that one may need to learn, if one is to be going anywhere worthwhile, in this life or on the spaceship to turn, the show in? But if we were to cut the experience short, we might be found to be "depriving" those said "someone" of valuable lessons of sorts. Lessons that they were not given enough time to learn from, and the opportunity to suffer enough through and earn some. To mature properly and grow a ton, to reach their full potential, even if slowly. It's okay to help a person out sometimes or help them up whenever they fall down the mines, mi pickney. But you need to know when to stop, for both your sakes and the homes on the lots. So, the adopted ones, the adopted families in these and such other plans, may take on much more immediate importance than the real ones. Because the real ones are far away, and will likely cause you some hardships at times, like, even today, if and when they happen to be close at hand. Like, if and when you're close up with them, the real ones. That is because, that's the thing with "real." Sometimes "real" can be a bit heavy, like steel. The adopted ones, though, are not so. They are like a present help, in times of trouble, and while "slow" is heavy on the go. Or so it might have seemed, to Cleo. The adopted ones, that you always seem to have anyway, are the real trouble, but you wouldn't know, okay? So, it's much better to stick with the fake or adopted ones than the real ones, because the adopted ones are near, always, right? Is this the best way in the long run, though, and into the night? Couldn't you be there, placing far greater importance on insurance than on building wealth, real wealth that's right? The real family wealth kind that, if you have enough of, you probably won't need so much insurance props. A little yes, for prudence's sake perhaps, and best, for your endurance along the winding tracks. But not for your only hope of salvation in this life to see, in the long run, away from me, in the real scheme of things, and good fun. Don't despise those friends and them (our adopted families,) no. They do have their real values and places to go. I've had some great ones in my life and in my time; friends that are like that, yeah! Like a fine wine, people who were there for me in the rough times.

"I can't thank you enough, nor can I be ungrateful to you for what you've done for me in my hours of need, which were many and tough. The evil one wanted me to hate you, tried very hard to do that too, but I couldn't, I can't, I won't."

But I was made to realize that; I was doing my best friends an injustice in an oversized apron props; a continuation of the scheme to our fix in disguise. Or so to me it seemed like this, guys. The help that my friends had offered me, had to come from somewhere for a fee. Someone had to do without or go without something, even for a brief moment in time. Even a brief moment, it was taken from somewhere else and afforded to me like limes, so that I could get the help that I needed from my friends. I also came to discover that no help that came to me from anyone, or from anywhere, comes without a cost, and dare, it's a cost that is going to have to be repaid, one way or another, one day or the other. Even if you don't pay back directly the person from whom you'd gotten the help of the loan in the first place, as is often the case in this race. You're going to be made to pay. For example, you will find it very hard to say "no" to the next person who asks for your help. Especially if and when you can help, or think you can, and there again is where your wake-up call may lie, helpless in the pan. When you're there thinking that you can help, when in fact, you can't. "Tell me about it."

"No, Aunt, I won't."

"Well, no. Don't bother to tell me, I already know, by experience and all, the other counts."

"I know, I know much more about that type than any one person should ever have gotten to know in one lifetime and to the fall."
