~*Beliefs and Opinions*~

I believe that homosexuals should be allowed to marry and to have the same rights that are given to heterosexuals.

I believe that the government has no right to make laws prohibiting abortion or restricting access to those things (condoms, birth control and emergency contraception) that help to guard against the need to get an abortion.

"My right to choose abortion is equal to your right to use birth control is equal to your neighbor's right to have a child, and none of it should be decided by anyone except ourselves."

~Gloria Feldt in Behind Every Choice is a Story

My Pro-Choice Essay

I believe that one person can make a difference and that every person has a responsibility to stand up for what is right and to not allow injustice to occur.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to stand and do nothing.
 
Freedom is not a gift from heaven, one must fight for it every day.
~Simon Wiesenthal
 

golden rule

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU

~In Cruce Salus~

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
~Proverbs 12:8
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
~Proverbs 16:24

Things are created,
They are inherently subject to decay,
And then finally, they are dissolved again

All that is created is impermanent, subject to alteration and change,
And being such, all impermanent things are inherently a state of ill being.
This being so,
It is not fitting to say that which is ill that am I, that is mine, that is my self.

Every iota of everything is just make-believe fiction
And none of it exists in truth
And when this is seen as the way things truly are
Then that is the end of all anguish
And the end of the continuation of what never existed in truth to begin with.

~*Favorite Scripture Verses*~

Like the light in the dark of dismal night, let yourself stand out as glowing, warm and welcome.
-Validivar

 
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
~Matthew 5:16

I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining.
I believe in love, even when I do not feel it.
I believe in God, even when He is silent.

These lines were found scrawled on a cellar wall in Cologne which was destroyed by bombing in WWII.

Gossip - Remember Me?

My name is gossip. I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
I flourish at every level of society.
My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
My name is Gossip.
