Conservatively liberal or, possibly, liberally conservative...I fully believe that right is right and wrong is wrong, regardless of political affiliation. Sometimes I'm right, some times I'm left...
We push too hard to get tangible things that have so little real value. Life is a balance and without it, we get way out of sync. I think we should all slow down and feel the world. People are people. Leave a good thought for those that will remember you when you are gone.
