Saturday, March 26th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.



"Such inordinate and low desires,
Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean attempts,
Such barren pleasures, rude society,
As thou art match'd withal, and grafted to!"

Henry IV, Part I, Act III, Scene 2, Lines 12-15.

Didn't have a patient die today. But one of them told me her son had died of a heroin overdose.

I hadn't visited with her in almost a year. Her son died last June. She was so distraught that she took up heroin herself again. She managed to get clean again, and was still clean as of today's visit.

But the vicious circle keeps on turning around and around...

That's what makes it vicious.

And a circle...

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
