It's been said that if you want to know what to do to make your life better, it's always good to begin at the beginning, to take a good look at the elements of your life to understand how the foundation was constructed, what event occurred to force a dramatic change in direction. That spot is easy to see for David. An event took place in his life at an early age, but it was so difficult to escape its grip. Finally, he is out on his own, as poor as a pauper, hoping for a better life and a better outlook.
