Scams, they’re not just for the internet anymore!

Well, technically, scams have been around since the beginning of humanity. Anywhere there was a chance to get a leg up on someone, scams delivered!

Money, power, and influence - it has always been a pursuit of mankind. You hear a lot these days that these are tough times that we are living in. That greed and destruction are rampant. The truth is, that times have always been challenging. It is wired into our subconscious as a way to thrive and survive. You’ll always have the kind-hearted, gentle souls of this world. But by and large, they are always overtaken and overshadowed by the evil few. While not the majority, they get all the recognition. The Money. The materialistic showcase of power. The false narrative is that some people are just better than other people.

While none of this is true in the grand scheme of things…sadly, as long as humankind exists - there will be people looking to take you down to take them higher. Scams if you will. Your position in life is directly related to how well you played “the game” of life. Whether you are on top or the bottom. Or somewhere in between. Were you (or are you) the scammer or the scammed?

The only truth in the matter, no matter where you fall…is that the universe doesn’t care. The universe will always win. Perhaps, striving for the top is the biggest scam of all?

ANYWAYS…

Happy 4th of July! I hope you enjoy your weekend and spend time with those you love. It is the only real thing in this world we have created for ourselves. Love. I know I sound like a hippie…but prove me wrong…

See you Wednesday with a brand-new cartoon. I am drawing away in preparation.

Cheers,
