They said curiosity killed the cat; too bad the cat had 9 lives. Continue to be curious and you'll stumble upon great things, some of which will be shocking. BUT if you discover something lurid and scarring, shake it off. Choose to be like a cat and bounce back. Utilize your remaining 8 lives, hold your head up, and strut.

The author's comments:
This is not even a poem. Or maybe it can be...I believe it's more of advice. I would love it to be utilized as a quote. So if you read this, spread the quote. Don't you just love quotes? Any kind of quote. They beautifully sum up some of our deepest, or most random, thoughts.

"At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1."
