Life itself is a wonderful thing. Its a pleasure and a blessing to be here.

Almost all the "bad" things that happened in my life didn't happen to me, they happened to someone else. We need to be able to keep someone else's tragedy from becoming our assumed tragedy. There no reasons for us to suffer it, too. But it is our opportunity to feel empathy and offer solace, to maybe learn a lesson and make changes.

Life is good, no matter what happens to me, it'll be OK.
