Sometimes, fear is good. Sometimes it's a good thing to have a little bit of a reality check.
No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.

I have a wish. It as a fear as well — that in my end will be my beginning.
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
