How do you find the energy to input such a level of blog entries. You must have a lot of enthusiasm. Here is a quote from Benjamin Franklin - "there is no such thing as a good war, nor a bad peace."

Here's a quote by Hugh Lipsius...

there is no such thig as darkness...darkness is only the absense of light.

There is no such thing as a lie...a lie is only the absence of truth.

What we lack is only the absense of what we refuse to accept

Apathy comes from many things. The bueaty of free will is in what reason we tell ourselves as to why we are apathetic.

I've tried so hard - it always ends up as a waste of time. Drop out and stay away from the maddening crowd. Even if someone had a better plan there would be ten people who wouldn't understand it.

so what!!!! say it anyway. Whether one person hears, or a million...it's never up to you...but speak it anyway and let those who want to condmn you for it , condemn you...and let those who hear you...hear.

Remember always...it's not about you or I...but it is always about the truth...even if the truth makes enemies for you. Be the crazy one who keeps them spinning.

Of course, if it's a matter of being liked...loved...then simply keep your thoughts to yourself.Because there are so many who do not want to hear.
