My life was not wasted.

To me, there is nothing better than a good human relationship. That is the essence of love. A very close and trusting and intimate relationship. Life doesn't get any better than that. Oh, one can get comfort and happiness from other things. Even from material things. But the ultimate is a good human relationship. A connection. Two souls intermingled. When that happens, I am at my peak. On top of the mountain. Atop the world. Then I feel I have lived. To the utmost. My life was not wasted. --Jim Broede
