Now that I've had a chance to settle down, I have reflected over the past few days on what I've observed & learned, so I thought I'd share:

Welcome to Amuteur Night:
As the title says, I have found most efforts are amuteur night.  What in God's name am I talking about ?

Amuteur Night is when artists that are not professionals (paid) go on stage and perform.  Sometimes there are some really good results as there is a naive sincerety. Othertimes, it is painfully obvious when people want to be something they'll never be.

So I'll start with the good: 

I love the sincerety of a person who communicates in simple concepts and recognizes their limitations.  In fact I love it so much, I will go out of my way to help them out. There intentions are good, yet they can't achieve their goals without some advice/assistance.  I guess I feel good when I do good. End of Story.

Now with the Bad:

When people don't recognice their limitations, and lost sincerety a long time ago.  As much as I'd like to help them, I recognize I am no Mama Theresa and I don't have the will or heart to deal with their "issues".  They desparately approach me wanting me to provide them with a feeling of some sort and to cure their inadequacy.  I guess for them I am a magic object that can solve any problems.  You must be joking !!  I can barely keep up on my own.  So I've decided to get a little more proactive and ask my self simple questions (forgive the language): 

Do I really have time to deal with their shit ?  Should I point out to them, that I simply don't believe their story ?

I guess I came up with a simple resolution:  I have 24 hours in a day, and between working, resting, eating and lovemaking (future tense), I need to focus my energies on things that matter: Family, freinds and "honorable" causes.  Otherwise, I come up short, like Danny DeVito in an Athletic Contest.

May all your days and evenings be filled with good, positive and wonderful people!
