Whenever I feel strongly about a person,whether the veterinarian who showed a little extra
compassion to an elderly feline of mine,or the coworker who made my day,I find giving
something that I cherish to that person makes me feel like I am giving a little piece of myself
away while I can appreciate it,not when I am dead and gone.Try it,you'll like it!SCole

Hi Stan, if you are trying to say that I create my reality, well I would definitely have to agree. This reality is subjective, each of us has our own story, our own viewpoint, and our own very personal perception.. I know someone else could sit in my backyard, and never hear the birds for the sound of the barking dogs, hate the coffee because I added a bit of cream. I will go as far to say that everything I experience was specially made by me,for me... to (as the author spoke of) whittle me away through experience in order to expose the real me....was it Michelangelo who said something about an angel hidden in the block of marble and through sculpting he set the angel free? and WHO is Me? until we Know who me really is, We will always see so many events in the world not being the effect of our Own cause!
