There's no such thing as a stupid question,
so speak up and ASK them!

Love is the most precious thing in the universe,
and should always be cherished.

Anger is an acid that eats away
at the soul of the hater.

Stupid people can't help it,
and should be avoided at all costs.

Heaven is made on earth
by the life we live HERE and NOW.

Hell is of our own construction,
for we punish ourselves worse than others can ever do.

There's no such thing as perfection in anything/anybody
so don't waste your time looking for it.

Machines are made by fallible human hands;
breakdowns are inevitable and predictable..

Pride can often be a Good Thing
if it motivates one to be better than they were.

Good people are very easily spotted if you look closely,
for they're the ones with self-doubt and inherent modesty.

Conceited people are annoying as hell,
and can be quite dangerous to boot.

Ignorance is inherently Evil in nature,
but can be fixed if a person is willing to TRY!

Rich people HAVE their rewards in this life;
what awaits them in the next one isn't pretty.

Bullies are to be pitied, scorned,
and stood up to at every opportunity.

People who are blatantly Different
are NOT inferior but often superior to others.

Men often act like rutting swine,
but at times can be quite amazingly nice.

Women constantly befuddle Men
with their mercurial ways.

There is no such thing as inherent Rights,
for in the eyes of God we're all the same.

Things like race, social status, country or origin, etc.
are superficial at best, and just DON'T matter!

When the shit really hits the fan
a smart person knows how to duck.

Don't take anything too seriously in life,
but learn to laugh and take a joke.

NOBODY knows everything there is;
smart people NEVER stop learning.

You can either accept people as they are,
or reject them for the same reason.

Respect, at least the meaningful kind,
is EARNED through hard work and sacrifice.

Nothing worthwhile is EVER truly free,
for EVERYTHING has a hidden price-tag.

Disabled people aren't all that Different
from everybody else, at least INSIDE.

Profanity, when used excessively and loudly
is often a telltale sign of deep rooted ignorance.

Above all else, learn to Live, Love, and Be,
for that's what Life's all about!

To be continued. . . .
