"From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me."
Walt Whitman (1819-92)
"When I look back now over my life and call to mind what I might have had simply for taking and did not take, my heart is like to break."
Akhenaton (d. c.1354 BC)

Smile by Charlie Chaplin, Performed by KokoKaina
I love her version of this song. She writes:
"This is an absolutely lovely song. Written by Charlie Chaplin, recorded by Nat King Cole.
"I gave the video a 'silent movie feel'. I hope you enjoy my rendition of it. Not my best of it, i was tired but i suppose that's just an excuse eh? Haha."
=) ----------------------------------
Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking Though there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fears and sorrows Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile

Emotional Education A group of about 50 parents of students at DeKalb, Ga., schools showed up at a meeting to protest the adoption of an abstinence-only sex education policy, saying kids need more information about contraception and disease prevention. The parents included doctors and infectious disease experts from Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, both of which are in the vicinity. “We feel passionate about the issue of sex education,” says parent Tanya Cassingham, an Emory AIDS research coordinator. “We have tried fear-based programs in the past.” Cassingham points out that the programs have not been peer reviewed by qualified researchers to ensure they actually work.
