God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being’s mental and physical health is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time, because it’s too hard…To put it loosely, the reason why kids are crazy is because nobody can face the responsibility of bringing them up…

When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.
