Albert Schweitzer

I have been running the Albert Schweitzer quote under my title for quite a while now. So I thought it was time to change it...hopefully to something a little more light hearted. With all the war, crime and  horrific oil prices we could do with a laugh. But before taking it down here's a snippet I found on Schweitzer.....I particularly like the point about helping to alleviate suffering where we can.

The renowned humanitarian Albert Schweitzer, who accomplished so much for both humans and animals in his lifetime, would take time to stoop and move a worm from hot pavement to cool earth. Aware of the problems and responsibilities that an expanded ethic brings, he said, “A man is really ethical only when he obeys the constraint laid on him to aid all life which he is able to help … He does not ask how far this or that life deserves sympathy … nor how far it is capable of feeling.” We can’t stop all suffering, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t stop any. In today’s world of virtually unlimited choices, there are plenty of kind, gentle ways for us to feed, clothe, entertain, and educate ourselves that do not involve killing animals.

On an unrelated note: The fact that you knew today was my birthday makes me think you're my real father. Daddy! It's so exciting to finally reconnect with you! I have so much to tell you--the day I got my first period, the dream I had last night, my favorite songs--this is going to be so much fun. I'm on my way to your house now to catch you up on every single detail of my life up to this point. See you soon!

Love, Daddy's Little Girl

This is understandable that money makes people disembarrass. But what to do if somebody has no money? The one way is to receive the business loans and sba loan.
