What The Hell's Wrong With Me?

   "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

   And too often we try to practice this every day just to have someone suck the compassion and humanity right out of us until it's decided that we've served our purpose.
