I believe the cost of life is Death and we will all pay that in full. Everything else should be a gift.
I believe it is our own misperceptions of who we really are that leads to every self-created hell you'll find in this world.
I believe we all have the Voice of Reason inside us...to gently lead us out of our own self-created hells...
Speaking of Satan, I was watching Rush Limbaugh the other day.
I don't identify with anyone historically, but there are several people in the future who I am a dead ringer for.
I'll smoke, I'll cough, I'll get the tumors, I'll die, deal? Thank you America. [salutes]
