Dear Folks,
The purpose of life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whomever is around to be loved. — The Sirens of Titan, Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) Author
I find it hard to think before I say something. It is a lifelong quest of mine to think before I speak. The ideal of being Even-tempered requires a continual decision to remember the people I am dealing with are my brothers and sister in the most Fraternal sense. Progress is only made with some effort.
Peace,
Jim
