Aristotle says that to be a good person, study good people, and do what they do. The only sin is not to do what is necessary. and any day is a good day to be born. All creatures are necessary and bring their unique irreplaceable incomparable gift to the universe and go back again, so love and be loved. That is the whole story. BTW: was DOD at least once and survived fatal injuries and illness several other times and never got AIDS, and have put a half a dozen odd kids through college, and a handful more through apprenticeships, and taught a whole lot more enough English to get through life. Read and speak some English and Turkish and German and Switzerdutsch, and don't really recall any more so well Chinese, French, Russian, Latin and Greek. Speak enough Arabic to get into trouble and read street signs, prices and checks. Arrested only twice. Indicted once. Never proven guilty of any kind of crime.
