Just like every other aspect of our lives...we pay not to be annoyed. We pay for premium channels so we can watch movies without commercials. We pay for Caller ID and Call Blocking so we can screen unwanted callers. And we pay for big dogs so we don't get harassed by people selling magazines!

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
