Can you imagine being full and remaining full all the time without having to ever eat again? You would die of malnutrition.

Julius thought Michelangelo was the man for the job.

Imagine if you were a teenager and your parents trusted you. You matured enough that they weren't helicopter parents. They gave you your space and you made good decisions that pleased them. They even gave you the car keys.
