Episode 409 - Yacht Robbery Gone Bad - Part 1 - Trust No One In That Life!
This is the first half of one of my craziest stories.
I originally was reluctant to share it because of the violence it resulted in.
BUT, I concluded that there is a valuable moral lesson to learn from it.
In that life, be it the mafia or street life, you are dealing with a class of criminals who don't have any value for human life.
They have no honor at all.
Everyone is out to stab the next guy in the back, be it over money, status, position, or power.
There are no altruists in the underworld, out to help their "friends" or fellow man.The world revolves around thenm and them only.
I was a strange anomaly in that regard.
I actually valued my friends and family.
That was how I was raised by my grandpa.
I protected them.
I stood up for them.
I fought for them.
An sometimes did worse for them.
I would have died for them in a blink, without question.
But in the end, not a single one ever cared about me.
Most were jealous or scared of me.
The only friends who ever cared were a few civilian friends who knew the real me was not a bad guy, but in fact a good guy, a talented and gated and gentle spirt who loves people and loves the world, not a sociopath that most of the word thought I was.
