Saying Goodbye

Last night I wrote an e-mail to two people who I have the greatest love and respect for officially saying goodbye to them. It was not an easy thing to do as I loved them like parents, but I knew that it was something that I had to do to move forward with my life. I only hope that in the future, I will be blessed with a set of people as kind and caring as they were. May they find only peace, health and happiness in their future.


Rolling Stones "Waiting on a Friend"

Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

Thought
A selfish person is one whose philosophy says, "Me first, and to hell with the rest of you." In the extreme this can lead to the cruelest of personal behavior.

Question: Can selfishness be a virtue?
