The Purpose Of Life Is To Listen

Some Days, Doing "the Best We Can" May Still Fall Short Of What We Would Like To Be Able To Do, But Life Isn't Perfect On Any Front-and Doing What We Can With What We Have Is The Most We Should Expect Of Ourselves Or Anyone Else.

People Have Said, 'don't Cry' To Other People For Years And Years, And All It Has Ever Meant Is, 'i'm Too Uncomfortable When You Show Your Feelings. Don't Cry.' I'd Rather Have Them Say, 'go Ahead And Cry. I'm Here To Be With You.'

I Believe That Appreciation Is A Holy Thing--that When We Look For What's Best In A Person We Happen To Be With At The Moment, We're Doing What God Does All The Time. So In Loving And Appreciating Our Neighbor, We're Participating In Something Sacred.

Listening Is Where Love Begins: Listening To Ourselves And Then To Our Neighbors.

One Of The Greatest Dignities Of Humankind Is That Each Successive Generation Is Invested In The Welfare Of Each New Generation.
