Continued:..
Folowing someone eles path is difficult.
I can't do it unless I know that I can also
Be comforted along th way with the pride of being able to lead on this path too.
I am starting to use these forums in mind to really help people now. And I'm not looking for rewards for doing so....

Albert Camus in L'Etranger (the stranger) wrote something in french
That translates something like:

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow correctly.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead you correctly.
Please walk next to me, so that we can walk together.


The only thing I am condemmed to this day is a life of helping others
And I most surely hope that this joyful condemnation is the collective curse on every blessed soul who finds a new way of life that is soo much better than what was ever before them! Thy will be done
