Sorry for being away I have been ill and this quote because of what I was born with and my the tragedy my best friend is recuperating from speaks strongly about how I feel.

"Friendship is not based on what a person can do for you or how they fit into your narrow selfish view of the world - simply is. You will know your friends because they are the ones still standing by you despite yourself - those that abandon you, berate you behind your back or leave when things no longer serve their needs are not your friends." ~L. Spearman

Today's quote

"Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer."

Tell a Friend-Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

The demand for certainty is one which is natural to man, but is nevertheless an intellectual vice. ... But so long as men are not trained to withhold judgment in the absence of evidence, they will be led astray by cocksure prophets, and it is likely that their leaders will be either ignorant fanatics or dishonest charlatans. To endure uncertainty is difficult, but so are most of the other virtues.
