Tim closes his Blagojevich saga with a philosophy of non-intervention, comparing trying to help doomed people to interfering with a TV show plot, and says to just enjoy watching the ride.
- Some people have an itch inside them they need to scratch, even if it bleeds them to death.
- If you try too hard to stop those people, you become them and their horrors become your horrors.
- Maybe the help you're trying to give is really because you want the chaos and drama, not actual salvation.
- Step back and watch it like you watch Ozark—it's not real, it's just a story being written somewhere.
- The minute you involve yourself, even with good intentions, you become the story instead of telling it.
- There are a few people you truly love, but telling you right now—don't even help them because you'll hurt them.
- If you hear an elderly person screaming, put in your earbuds and listen to music until the screaming stops.
- People make their own decisions—it's not your business anyway.
- Trying to help gets boring, and maybe some people's destiny is to ride out in a hail of bullets like Bonnie and Clyde.
- Don't keep distance but enjoy the ride—that's what billionaires do, manage when they can and let what happens happen.
