of yourself. Nobody can make you a loser."

we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.

just me - each one of us is born of two, and we really belong to each other.

experiences to the solving of problems that affect everyone aboard planet Earth.

It is not by accident that the happiest people are those who make a conscious
effort to live useful lives. Their happiness, of course, is not a shallow

jackhammer, the ones that you 'come to terms with' only to discover that they

They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately,
the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often
against your will.
