somewhere and God told him to stop at a certain house and leave 20 dollars

under the door. At first he refused but as is God's way He insisted and applied
enough pressure for my client to drive back to that house and he left 2000
dollars since he was a millionaire and 20 dollars is plainly ridiculous. He felt good

about what he did. Sort of helping God along!

When he returned a few days later he drove past that house and noticed police
and ambulances. As he stopped and made some inquiries the story came out

that the widow's son living at the back of that house found enough money
somewhere and overdosed and they cannot quite figure it out where he got the

money. Anyway, now he is dead and they came to fetch the body and the widow
most unhappy."

My point is you cannot save and rescue the whole world and sometimes bad

things (divorce is always bad) must happen for other good to come out of it
even if you don't get it right now or are unable to see the bigger picture. Divorce

is always (not sometimes) a new beginning. The hurt goes away later than
sooner. Even Salome said "It's better to live alone in the corner of an attic than

with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home." Proverbs 21 v 9 that is in case your
Reverend failed you.

The problem we have in divorces is that ego's always play a role and hell has no
fury as a woman (or a man these days) scorned. They argue about nonsense

and are totally absurd and ridiculous in their demands. Let me tell you that

lawyers love it when couples don't want to settle and grow rich on the proceeds
of your vanity. My advice to you is always to settle and settlement means both
party is unhappy with the result. That indicates fairness and we will talk about it

often enough. Does it really matter if you get 40 million or 55 million? No, it

does not. It is enough or should be for anyone who is realistic in life.
Understandably in most divorces that kind of money is not involved and
everyone loses at a divorce. It is never a get quick rich scheme as I said before.

Does it matter if your lawyers walk away with 10g or 2millon? Yes, I would say

the more they make the sillier your decisions were. My point is that divorces do
not need to be expensive or spiteful. The law is neutral and if you want to make

it that way it will accommodate you but it is unnecessary. Mostly the couples
