Everyone and everything counts.

And a shared heart with humanity and the unity of all things.

"You can run, you can hide

You can feed your foolish pride
With the hearts that you stole
And an empty pot of gold
And the lover's warm embrace
And the whole damned human race
You can use and abuse
In the end you'll always lose at the game"

"for I cheated myself at solitaire."

Richie Alan Naggar we are all connected. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family.

So true Rickie. Cannot argue!

Richie,

I agree with Ronald Gombach 

Sounds like a like from Shakespeare

Best wishes to you and your family for a Very Merry Christmas!

All I can say, Richie... is "what is there to argue about in that thought?"

We are all connected. We are all one. To count one we count all. Many get "dismissed" in that process as others lack understanding of our connection. 

To my own heart be true ... absolutely. At times it presents a challenge because I do not want to hurt or disappoint others. In the end, I choose to be bold enough to use my voice.  

Carol Williams nailed this one!

We can all make a difference.

Agree.

Every positive thought counts, Richie Alan Naggar. 

Be kind to others and your heart will be filled with love and blessings.

Yes, everything comes from within, love and be loved, give and be given.

Be true to yourself and yoiu will be able to be true to all

to thine own self be true..... from Hamlet.... Polonius advice to his son, Laertes.....good advice for all...

"...and it must follow, as the night, the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."

Speak and share your knowledge readily but, remember, truth reigns.
