True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
-Helen Keller~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation than for bread.
- Mother Teresa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything.Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
-Albert Einstein~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
- William James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The key to all problems is the problem of consciousness.

Absolutely. I have prattled on and on about the human right to live. And that includes adequate access to physical and mental healthcare instead of the “community health programs” mockery that they parade around as a lame excuse of trying.
I battled cancer for four years because Planned Parenthood couldn’t be bothered to keep an eye on my cervical dysplasia.
Sorry to hear that.
You are right on about the ‘community health programs’ and ‘adequate’ should be EQUAL ACCESS to all physical and mental healthcare.
