All That I Know

I wish I had the knowledge of lifes most important things knew how to end lifes problems and all the pain it brings. I don't know much of anything but I do know how pain feels and I know this life is filled with too many bad deals. I always try to understand what others say and do because I may not really know just what they have been through. I never want to cause more pain that doesn't have to be and pray that someone else in turn will do the same for me.

Re your question Robin about Epulaeryu I pronounce it as E -PU-LAE-R(Y)U but Joseph Spence created the form so maybe there is a more accurate answer.Rgds Brian
