It is my pleasure. At least while your laughing you'll be less likely to incite,
inflame or harm others. I wouldnt call it a strength, but something you do well.
Fear is another thing you can't feel like a good soul can. Fear makes people

It been fun to reveal the real you.

I offer something you hate, Peace,
