Life can be stressful. We constantly have to deal with our problems, frustrations, irratations, our fears of what tomorrow may bring, and what the future holds for us. That is why we have to, once in a while put aside our baggages, our worries, and have a laugh – at ourselves, at our troubles, and at Life. Laugh and be happy, come what may!

Howdy sir Vicent! haha! who is Ambrose Bierce anyway? he's brilliant! I especially like his definition of politics. lol.

Ambrose Bierce was a writer, journalist and poet from the mid 1840s to early 1900. What he said then still applies today. It just goes to show that the times may have changed, but human nature hadn't.

exactly sir Vincent! That's why humankind's handbook, the Bible is so important because it has all the truths, wisdom and knowledge for success but I won't talk about that. lol.
