I don't know what to do
This concerning you
You've been such a fool
Which is not cool
You need to be banned
You should have just ran
Instead you decided to stay
And ended up getting played
By your peers
Now your crying tears

Great message. I wish I had read this a long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of grief.

&ldquo;Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br /> ― Dalai Lama XIV

Wow nice! 5 stars for sure, it has such point! The only suggestion would be changing a couple word choices and it would be 6 stars!
