Of course the world didn’t stop without me in it. Life went on as scheduled and I just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=richesofeternity.wordpress.com&blog=4186127&post=595&subd=richesofeternity&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

But when does one draw the line? Is there such a thing as being a little too kind or giving way too much? Wouldn’t we rather [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=richesofeternity.wordpress.com&blog=4186127&post=589&subd=richesofeternity&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
