  The world softens when we soften.

  The world loves us when we choose to love the world.

  Your Love is located within you.  It's yours to nurture and savor.  It's yours to give in any way you choose.  This is true for others as well.  If someone you love fails to return the Love the way you would like it returned, that's the other person"s choice.  It doesn't at all detract from your Love. 

Tough enough to execute Karla Fay Tucker-- and then laugh about it.  Tough enough to sign a death warrant for a man whose lawyer slept through the trial...and then snicker when asked about it in a debate.  Even tough enough to execute a great-grandmother who murdered her husband --after he abused her.

Mr. Bush is tough enough to invade a country that was no risk to America, causing tens of thousands of civillian deaths and shedding precious American blood in process.  Tough enough to sanction torture.
