At certain moments, always unforseen, I become happy... I look at the strangers near as if I had known them all my life... everything fills me with affection... It may be an hour before the mood passes, but lately I seem to understand that I enter upon it the moment I cease to hate.
- William Butler Yeats
Please do not call people names on this thread- that includes labeling any group "trash" or any other bigoted name. There are threads for name calling, and this is not one of them. Thank you
