What are you doing to help?

If they do not want to live
let us try to help them love life so much
they will change their minds.

I have talked to many who I will never see again;
I am SHAMED I let that chance of friendship pass by.
A person willing to communicate is worth having as a friend forever.

Never!
If I understand someone I can only love them
enough to forgive them any thing.

Friend, tell me more of your priorities.
Let the world know what you would have it do.

You must learn from somewhere,
taught by nature,
taught by god,
taught by teachers,
taught by me,
taught by you.
Be taught and learn.

Am I "coming-on" to a cult?
If you do not know what to do I will help YOU decide.
I want to help get us where we want to be.
Leader or not, here I come!

OK friend, how's this?
If I get one person motivated and bring their brain *more* to life
we will be one step closer to our goals.

Let us prepare to explain to others
how these and other things can be stopped.
If everyone ate controlled calorie restricted diets
we would be fighting at least 3 of those problems
free radicals, toxins, and starvation,
as well as living longer.
