We either meet the bill or we don't..Some become of good character and some become of vain, wild, wicked or sorry..Thanks for stopping by my page..Sara

Thank you, David. It is true. Our character is tested most in situations of conflict.

Excellent brevity. It neatly divides the true lovers from the fakers ... character is an on-going thing, not something that's discovered, or brought to full, overnight. You've encapsulated a timeless truth, here, Eileen. Well done!

well said, Eileen, well said. There is more to having character than being one.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 2/29/2016 3:53:00 PM

;) Oh....Nice pun. I'm quite a character at times! ;) However, those who take time to know me...are usually those who find something worth staying around for. Thanks for the visit.
