I like having good perception about life, It helps in having good knowledge about myself. However, i am my own friend and enemy.. I live with the demons I created after getting to know myself better these last few years... always~ Linda

Dear Russel, you are so right! First we have to be friends with ourselves before even try to be friends with others!
