17 year Olivia of Berkeley, California, apparently posseses the wisdom of a genius, a philosopher . Here are her words, authored when she was all of 12 years.
ON LIVING WITH A FULL HEART
When one is too hurt one cannot see others' pain, is
too blind with one's own.
When one has many weights to lift, one cannot enjoy
life.
When one has many expectations, one cannot be
patient with others.
When one has fear, one cannot enjoy life.
When one does not give, one is making the heart
lonely.
When one does not take, one is making the heart
feel inferior
When one does not hope, one is shutting oneself into
a tight closet.
But when one does not love, one is killing one's self.
