  7. Love; The immense power of absolute vulnerability
  8. Lies always catch up with you
  9. A little thing is a little thing but faithfulness in little things is a damn difficult big thing
  10. If you give you will receive
  11. The amount of time is a constant but its availability is a function of your priorities

    So true. We can be such a messed-up people. Chasing what does not exist, giving up what was perhaps our best friend, gratifying an instinct that we dont really feel and in the end, feeling all WTF about it. The best part is to start again. Nice break from the ten commandments. :-)

    Regarding your comment on affluence. I’m not sure who said it, but I love the quote;
