Try
Try to have a good day today, wherever you are, whatever you do, whoever is near, if no one is near. Try to be happy, because you may not see tomorrow. There is someone this morning, who didn't wake up, who will never see this day. Try to feel lucky that this is not you.
(snip)
Try to be kind, because there is such a lack of kindness everywhere, and if you could generate just a little, it would mean everything to someone else. You may never know how much it would help, because we cannot measure the amount of joy we give one another. Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever. You never know, which is both beautiful and maddening.

Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it. This communion, is the true lovely sweetness of the nature of humanity, that really, when we remove all the artifice, the posturing, the reactions, the politics, the assumptions, the rage, the grudge, the hypocrisy, the prejudice, the lies, we are all the same, like chocolates in a heart shaped box, soft in the center.
Try. Just today, for yourself, for everyone. Today, this is all I have to give. Can you try for me in return? Most importantly, try not to forward this shit to anyone. I am just kidding.
Rest at... the magnificent, benificent, omipresent and wondrous...
(I love you so so so so much it makes me cry!)
