The dinner guests were sitting around the
table discussing life. One man, a
CEO, decided to explain the problem with

Today’s food for thought.

One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was walking in the woods. As he thought about his life this day, he knew many things were not right. He thought about those who had lied about him back when he had a job.

His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him. He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to t…
