this is so true... if only that creativity was used for positive productive purposes this world would be a much more beautiful place to live in...
even sadder is that most people in the midst of their fear that creates the prejudice don't realize just how much time and energy they waste on trying to find faults and flaws to point out and pick on...
then, when they find themselves stressed and fatigued and getting depressed then blame the enemy and don't understand that it's their own choices that drain them and bring them down...
honest love, ric
occasionally this life has left me battered,
but I can't blame no one else, 'cause what I've done to myself
is the only kind of history that matters"
