Two kids are talking to each other.
One says, "I'm really worried. My dad works twelve hours a day to give me a nice home and good food. My mom spends the whole day cleaning and cooking for me. I'm worried sick!"
The other kid says, "What have you got to worry about? Sounds to me like you've got it made!"
The first kid says, "What if they try to escape?"
"Accept that life produces more relationships than you can nurture, [and] activities than you can keep up with."

If you're a giver, remember to learn your limits - because takers don't have any.

Walking through a rough part of the city one night, two social workers heard moans and groans and muted cries for help coming from an alley. Walking toward the sound, they found a semi-conscious man.
"Help me!" he said weakly. "I've been mugged and viciously beaten!"
The two social workers stared at him for a moment then walked back out of the alley.
One turned to the other and said, "You know, the person who did that really could use some help!"
"You still haven't met all the people who are going to love you."
- from the song of the same title by David Peralta De La Luz
