Sadaam Hanged

So Sadaam was hanged today. The strange thing to me about all this is that us Americans are almost cheering his death. Here is a man who did nothing to us (plenty to Iraqis though) and yet we cheer his hanging as if it was him who carried out the 9/11 attacks *cough cough*. Sigh...

Thanks Cindy...

...for the cool quote. I'd never heard it before until I read it tonight.

***

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom, you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
