TEN WAYS TO TELL YOU'RE ALIVE

         1.  Just because you have a heart beat or brain-wave doesn't mean 
              a thing.

2.  Are you raising some kind of hell?

3.  Do you wake up in the morning grateful for the opportunity to make life better for someone else?

4.  Have you ever felt, just for a second, that you might be connected to everything else?

5.  Do you say you're sorry when you need to?

6.  Have you helped someone without expecting anything in return?

7.  Do you cry when you see people suffering?

8.  Can you accept the fact that you may be wrong sometimes?

9.  Somewhere in your heart, do you feel it is wrong to kill others in the pursuit of peace and democracy?

10. Blood pressure, heart beat, pulse, breathing, all have something to do with life, but little to do with living it.
