Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
You can shed tears that they have gone
Or you can smile because they have lived.
You can close your eyes and pray they'll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they've left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they've gone
Or you can cherish their memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what they'd want
