The best of INTENTIONS

Kev hasn't set the bar too high for his New Year's resolutions!

I don’t think I’ve ever kept a New Year’s resolution. But they’re fun to talk about. It occurs to me that it’s difficult keeping New Year’s resolutions because we make them too challenging.

Besides, I’m developing a Buddhist-like attitude to taking life. What’s the difference between killing an elephant and killing an ant? They’re equally magnificent creatures. And it’s no easier to restore life to an ant as an elephant.
