Stansgran I have always thought that censorship was rather absurd.

My mother always said if you can't say something pleasant say nothing except she put it more robustly than that. Always remembering she was a lady.

These things are always being churned around on facebook.

I agree absent - it's a load of complete anodyne tosh that I couldn't begin to dignify with any sort of intellectual response - but just one thing - I have no problem saying I love you, I'm sorry and help me because I'm a grown up and emotionally intelligent

I wouldn't say the sentiments expressed were 'mindless'.

Gosh absent, that was harsh.
I really liked it.

Couldn't agree more.

Aren't these endlessly forwarded saccharine e-mails tedious and mindless? They always seem to have the same intellectual rigour and aesthetic standards as the rhymes inside cheap, glittery greetings cards.

"Just something to think about...

Did you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive?

Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated?

Did you know the one who takes care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most?

Did you know the 3 hardest things to say are I love you, I'm sorry, and Help me.

Sometimes just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile and see how much pain they may be in.

To all my friends who are going through some issues right now--Let's start an intention avalanche. We all need positive intentions right now. ...

May I ask my friends wherever you might be, kindly to forward this to give a moment of support to all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune.
