He sure was Auntie -- I miss him (lost him in 1999). He was full of good wisdom, another one I used to ignore and subsequently paid the consequences, was "Helping people a little is okay, do not help people too much, they will come to resent you for it." |

That's true as well. (The Japanese are against helping people too much. This is why they do not help each other up during a martial arts competition) _________________ Aruba Trip Reports |

To know the thoughts of GOD would be great,
but I need to know the details.

The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers.

I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.
