    It can be hard to convince some people. Like doubting Thomas, they say, “I won't believe it until I see it!” Even then you can't convince some people. As they say, “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.”

His life had been in the fast lane, nothing had come out of it. He had been in numerous relations and being a lorry driver he had ...read more
