Until I met you I was a lazy thinker. My ideas and thoughts were the ideas and thoughts of other people. I knew deep down my arguments and logic were weak but no one had ever really challenged me. Nor had I let them. But with you I let my guard down and allowed you to challenge my every thought. Be damned if you didn’t win every time. And overall, I wasn’t threatened by your winning because you never gloated. I knew I was getting a wealth of wisdom thrown at me and appreciated it. Yes, there were a couple of times that I rejected your wisdom and reverted to lazy thinking. It cost us our friendship which I miss dearly. But I still came away a winner because, thanks to you, I have gone from being a full-time lazy-thinker to a part-timer. I’ve thanked you before. But you deserve to be thanked once more.
