My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

         Before you do something that involves another, ask yourself two questions:

                   What do I have to lose?  and

                   What do they have to lose?

If those two questions don't bring a "balanced" answer, don't do it.  The one who has the least to lose, may become cocky and neglectful of even the smallest civilities; whereas, you may find yourself beholden to them and eventually forced out.

         In other words, trust no one (man, woman, child, brother, sister, mother, father). 

Jeremiah 17:5  Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:6  For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Jeremiah 17:7  Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Jeremiah 17:8  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:10  I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
