Nobody needs your help.
I know, I know, this is a difficult one. But it is true.

They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
A real person stands no chance of measuring up to those fantasies.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I want to live to be a hundred minus one day,

The success of love is in the loving -
it is not in the result of loving.
Of course it is natural in love
to want the best for the other person,
but whether it turns out that way or not
does not determine the value of what we have done.

perhaps a friend or spouse, perhaps a stranger,

What can you do today to help create that world?
