Peace

I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.

ezs note:  Normally, I let things stand as they are, but this one takes the cake.  You have a choice: shoot a rocket to Mars - for 2.5 billion dollars - to get a few scrapings off the surface - or get decent housing, clothing, dental care, and food for those most in need.

It's your choice.
