As the world turns and lives are thrown together nature takes it's course. One must recognize that the one that controls his own life and perception of it is himself. Life throws it's curveballs but eventually you learn that it will always come when you least expect it. Once you master the art of self love, the art that God has given us as gifts, you will have understood that we are all growing and learning as the days go by. If you have a closed mind to the differences we all bring to the table you have stopped living.
