take care about who you love tell you, but keep in mind YOUrself, sometimes some people doesn't understand us but that didn't say they're wrong or we are wrong.
talk to friends, chat with people in peru, france, japan, london, new york, mexico, buenos aires, south africa, australia, kiev, bosnia, hungary, etc. etc. etc. you know, we live in an enormous reality, almost infinite is we think in our short life span -1 hundred with a lot of luck-.
bob marley sings some good things... and so another profets around the world. watch out the "conversation with God" topic in this forum and talk a bit with the man who post it, he seems very clever and good-hearted (plz send my good vibrations to him !!)
just remember: this is your life, don't let anybody, nor The System take it out.
