True?     Inner Peace:

 If you can start the day without caffeine,

 If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

 If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

 If you can eat plain food every day and be grateful for it,

 If you can understand when you’re loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

 If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

 If you can conquer tension without medical help,

 If you can relax without liquor,

 If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

 

 See you, May 15,  2011

True?

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
