Views: 1105 - Laughing And Crying Are Good For The Soul; Try Them Both - by Submitted on Aug 29, 2008 from Warren RedmanAny expression of emotion is good for the soul if we allow it.

Views: 2494 - Birth And Death Are Certainties; It’s The Bit In Between That's Unclear - by Submitted on Aug 29, 2008 from Warren RedmanIt seems odd to me that most people go through life imagining that they know exactly what will happen and get shocked or surprised if things don’t go the way they expect.
