Oh, theodora, why must everything be a contest; a competition? You live to tell your tale. Not every hero gets a parade. That does not make them a failure.

Receiving far less attention are the working class heroes, who go about their solitary work routines with quiet dignity, come home from another grueling day, yet still find time to interact with their children. ~Armstrong Williams

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. ~Bertrand Russell

Be well.
