People think that euthanasia is putting their pets “down” when it really is lifting us up. In the first moment, when we come back to earth, we remember the comfort of the Heaven we came from and this is why we cry when we are born. When we are born in Heaven we come in laughing not crying! In birth we have the passage and then the pain. In death we have the pain and then the passage.","author":"Kate McGahan","tags":["birth","cry","crying","death","euthanasia","laugh","laughing","lifting-up","passage","putting-down"],"id":27412,"author_id":"Kate+McGahan"},{"text":"It's weird how I am constantly surprised by the passage of time when it's literally the most predictable thing in the Universe.","author":"Randall Munroe","tags":["constantly","passage","predictable","surprised","time","universe"],"id":32357,"author_id":"Randall+Munroe"},{"text":"Any hand can condem, but it takes a helping hand to build.","author":"Nate Spears","tags":["inspiration","nate-spears","passage","poet","poetry","quote"],"id":33491,"author_id":"Nate+Spears"},{"text":"Live for everything, or die for nothing.","author":"Nate Spears","tags":["nate-spears","passage","poet","poetry","quote"],"id":54611,"author_id":"Nate+Spears"},{"text":"We need to go first because we cannot live without your love and care.

The older we get, the more reasons God gives us to seek His comfort. In the end, He sends us just enough pain and suffering so that we will want to leave.
