Dear Kevin:

You wrote: “I have never smoked, never drunk alcohol, never taken drugs, never been in trouble with the police, never cheated on women, I don’t swear, I treat everyone with respect, I’m not aggressive”-

Having worked minimum wage and feeling that you have to go back to working minimum wage is a separate issue from the above:

The consequence of not smoking is that you increased your chances of being physically healthy, decreasing your chances of ill health and early death.

The consequence of not drinking alcohol is that you have no chance of over drinking it, driving while under the influence, and so you increase your chances of health and safety, as well as others’ safety, on the road.

Never having been in trouble with the police- that decreases your chances of being incarcerated, paying fines and experiencing great distress involved in legal litigations.

And so  on. None of these carries the consequence of making more money as there is no entity watching, taking notes and figuring something like: this man has been good, therefore I will reward him with more money.

I hope to read more from you.
