"Someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong."

"So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.' "-Danny Vinyard

Think for yourself. Question authority.
Think for yourself. Question authority.

Throughout human history
as our species has faced
the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know
who we are or where we are going in this ocean of chaos,
it has been the authorities,
the political, the religious, the educational authorities
who attempted to
comfort us by giving us
order, rules, regulations,
informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.

To think for yourself you must question authority
and learn how to
put yourself in a state of vulnerable,
open mindedness, chaotic, confused, vulnerability,
to inform yourself.

Think for yourself. Question authority.
