If you have a dream, pursue it. Dreams are like hope, they keep us going!

The way we treat ourselves and others is an expression of who we are

We can't be all things to all people. It's ok not to rescue, help or befriend everyone. We all have our limits. Stepping back is ok

After all, 'the' human species is no more static than other species are. If our environment changes (or, more pertinent in the human case, as we transform our environment), we change with it.
