To Think about
"Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality...
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them...
To do so, humankind should follow three rules: Respect for self, Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions."
Dalai Lama
