For you, a thousand times over
I suspect the truth is that we are waiting, all of us, against insurmountable odds, for something extraordinary to happen to us.
It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime...
And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.
There is only one sin. and that is theft... when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.
But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.
