We can only live the way we know we should, and whether or not other people appreciate it, does not matter.

well, you palookas dont want to get me started on morality - but Renegade is on to something here that you should pay attention to:

you are not making a sacrifice for anyone if you are expecting to be rewarded for it. its sort of like going to the gym for a workout. its supposed to be work, otherwise they'd call it a relax-and-have-a-margarita-out. if you're making a sacrifice, then you shouldn't be worried about whos going to thank you for it, or pay you back, or even notice. you should't even be worried about fate paying you back with divine karma. its called a sacrifice for a reason.

so the next time your having a margarita instead of going to the gym, raise your glass to all the unsung heros who really did make sacrifices.

and in case you forgot, moderate me down so that forum newbies dont mistakenly give credit to anything i say
