History has proven it just does not work.

You can not work to extinguish the star next to you....and expect if you are successful.....your star will shine brighter.

It does not work that way.

Each star needs to fuel it's brightness with it's own energy.

The end.

Signed older but wiser, Ninga


PS. On second thought, those using flames in an attempt to extinguish another star, will only served to get burned by their own flames. The stars that attempt to bolster their own brightness by extinguishing other stars, may succeed in the short term, but will not shine forever. The brightness they steal, is not theirs to own, and will burn out quickly and soon be forgotten.

3. I learned that lesson the hard way. Once I learned it, i became free of anger.
I do get angry now, but work very hard to channel it into action, rather than words.

Very hard to do, and it is a constant work in progress.

5. Profound! Thank you.
These wise words will help me the next time I get all outraged by a candidate's actions!

7. Hard, hard to do. But as i think about it, I also include the flame throwers who
lurk everywhere on the internet.
