Second thing. Be a hero in your own little world. To your family, your employees and your friends. You can be someone special that people admire and look up to. To do this, just take your eye off yourself and focus on others.
Third thing. The obvious paradoxes that exist were put there by the creator to alert us to his existence. There is a natural progression of thought and action with regard to the recognition of these paradoxes and the concommitant realization that there is a God. It leads to purpose and joy. It is my opinion that without God your hope of anything other than oblivion is remote. Oblivion is not what you want.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

Even Satan believes in God - that's not the issue. It's what you decide to do with that realization is important - follow or reject.

When I was little, I watched a TV show called, "Captian Penny". His motto was, "You can fool some of the poeple all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool mom."
I had decided on the content of my last post while I was still reading page one. Then I ran into Billjones' post. It occurs to me that there are some mottos on Iraqi coinage which seem to closely mirror his apparent beliefs. This isn't really what's really meant by darkside, but perhaps some people are simply collecting the wrong coins or not loyal to the same concepts.

I can't believe how much smarter my Dad got as he got older
In the course of your life, you will have many acquaintences, but if you are lucky, a small handful of friends
keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer
keep your eyes and ears open and keep your mouth shut - two eyes, two ears, one mouth - it's that way for a reason
think before you do
do your thinking with the big head
treat your customer like your friend and your friend will always be your customer
enough one liners - here is what I have learned. If you are young enough to have two parents, never let an opportunity go by to appreciate them.

Do what is right in your heart,then no matter what the outcome, you can stand proud
and at peace with yourself.
Be slow to anger and quick to forgive.
Be generous with compassion, to those who are in great emotional pain.
Never tolerate being lied to, laid a hand on or having my word or my integrity challanged.
Being able to say I am sorry ,when I have wronged another.
Be tolerant of each persons right to live their own lives as they wish. As long as it does not
infringe upon the freedom or security of my own life or the lives of my family.
This then are the truths I have learned in my long journey and my quest . Bear

Hey, i think that was meant for me!
I got one once that said:

If you stab me do I not bleed?
If you tickle me do I not laugh?
If you poison me do I not die?
And if you wrong me shall I not revenge?
