Basic Instinct

A valuable lesson Lolo taught me, during one of those cubana and beef steak dinners where he had his nightly cerveza, is this:

"Rammy," he said, "Times will keep changing and there will be a time for everything, even a time for war where things get confusing and you might not know where to go or what to do.... just stick to basic Christian principles and you'll be ok."

Lolo seemed to have a prophetic vision of what lies ahead.... or he just learned life's lessons really well and we were just lucky to be there to learn from his experiences.

I think that the secret to Lolo's greatness lies in this. Reverting to Christian principles was instinctive to him. This was his Basic Instinct.
