An incarcerated spirit breeds negativity lacking understanding as to why their word selections pierce the drums of the FREE. The words we choose to describe others often reflect our own inner conflicts. Be careful with words... choose wisely. The judgment you paint on others leads to a self portrait.

Why would he be "incarcerated"? I swear some of you (not all) need to read, think, read again, think it over, log out, go do something else, come back and then decide if hitting "post comment" is worth it. To the others, thank you so much for all your kind words and the love you send to me and my son. take care. B.
