  3. And the spit is still the spit.Very well said, NP. But spitting is injurious for the health of the recipient.

  4. Likewise a killer is a killer even if he can get away with it.

    Corollary: sometimes we might be "roses", other times we might be "killers".

  5. A great way to turn around an age old idea. Its one of the most true you've ever said.

  6. What Gina said. I think this realization often comes later in life, but it doesn't have to. Confidence and self esteem begin in the cradle.

  8. Yes, just like a tree, is a tree, is a tree. You can prune it or decorate it, but it’s still a tree. It is what it is, and that's the beauty and simplicity of life.
