#15: Don’t fart louder than the song playing.

 



Life Lesson 15: Don’t fart louder than the song playing. 


Usually this is something very difficult. It's mainly possible to do if it's an acoustic song, you're listening to a song on the radio, or the volume is low. 

Most of the time it is actually advised to keep the volume of your farts at a lower volume. If you are capable of doing this, then you should try to do it at a lower volume rather than farting as loud as possible. 

If you fart while a song is playing either in the car, at the store, or at a concert/show, then you should definitely hope that you don't fart louder than the song currently playing. 

I understand that some times we just can't control our stomach and its gases, so it can be rather hard to keep them at a lower volume. Though it can be hard to do make them sound quieter, if you must release gas that is loud, then you should go to the other room. 

When farting louder than the song playing, it can possibly embarrass you and whoever else may be with you. I think it's weird that burping doesn't embarrass us, but farting does, even though sometimes they don't smell.. 

But, either way, always make sure you don't fart louder than the song playing. 

Do you know anyone who has farted louder than the song playing?

#3: Your friends are always cooler than you.



Life Lesson 3: Your friends are always cooler than you.
When we were originally naming the life lessons, it started off with Devin and me randomly naming them. We bounced back and forth between “life lessons with Devin and Tony” and “life lessons with Tony and Devin.” After arguing a few times, we were like, “see there, life lesson 3, your friends are always cooler than you. We made that statement because we kept wanting to put each other first. 
Throughout our lives we are told that we should be selfless, humble, etc. Along with that we should put others before ourselves because if we put ourselves first then we are selfish. We are always instructed and told how we should be more selfless and not be selfish because being selfish is such a bad thing. It also looks bad on how people view us. 
We should continually help our friends and lift them up in everything they do. When we lift each other up, we help each other out. If there were no one to lift us up then we wouldn’t get along in life as easily. Things would be a lot more difficult. 
We are also often told that we don’t pick our friends, but they pick us, or they are picked for us. Our friends are put in our lives for many reasons. And if we want them to stay there then we should treat them with the utmost respect and love. In Matthew 7:12, it says, “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you.”   With that said, if you want those friends to stick around, you should treat them amazingly, because if you want to be treated amazingly then you should treat them the same way, if not better. 
Overall, I believe that we should always let our friends know that we think they’re cooler than us so that we can get respect in return, be more humble, and be more selfless.
