CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!"...if all the people in the world were to work for just a half an hour more than they do now and were to dedicate that money to helping the suffering, there would be no starvation and all people would be healthy. The heart of selfless service is the state of forgetting one’s individuality and seeing the pain and suffering of others as one’s own. When we love others, seeing ourselves in them, there will be no place for hatred or fear. May God’s grace guide all." - Mata Amritanandamayi (The Hugging Saint) http://www.amma.org
