Enjoy it. A great philosopher said once, "We're here for a good time, not a long time." Don't worry about who I am; don't worry about gushing your gratitude. Just enjoy, and, perhaps, if the time comes that you find yourself faced with an opportunity to do good for someone - whether you know them or not, or whether they will know of your good deed or not, you might consider taking the chance, and doing something good.<br /><br />Don't pay it back; pay it forward, baby. <br /><br />Pay it forward. http://phantomofthelj.livejournal.com/429.html generous public 11
