Quote of the Day

Well, because, everyone else is doing it.

It may be doubtful, at first,
Whether a person is an enemy or friend.

Meat, if not properly digested, becomes poison;
But poison, if used rightly, may turn medicinal.
— Saskya Pandita (1182-1251)

Friendship is a funny thing. You never know its strength until it’s tested — and even the testing can sometimes leave it damaged, or stronger than before. It’s a precious gift, one I’ve sometimes foolishly tossed away — but it also requires constant attention, care and feeding, lest it dwindle and diminish. And, like meat (or poison) it can be good for me, and bad for me, depending on what it is and how I use it.
