EVE taught me that: For every decent person you meet, there are 1000 assholes. If you're not going to hide, you'd better be damned good at running. Everything is worth something to the right buyer. Everyone has their price. Especially if said price is on their head. Always check the fine print before you sign. The more languages you speak, the better. Someone always has more firepower than you. Someone always has more friends than you. Not every problem can be solved by throwing money at it. Those that can usually require a lot of money. No matter how widely hated you are, someone, somewhere, will sympathize with you. Creativity is magic. Sometimes, running away really is the best option.
