"It Does Not Matter"

[starshade]

Man is unreasonable, illogical, selfish;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, love him!

Honesty and sincerity make you vulnerable;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, be frank and honest!

If you do good you will be imputed selfish ulterior motives;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, do good!

What has taken you years to build, can be destroyed in an instant;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, build!

If you help people, they will resent it;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, help them.

If you achieve your goals, you will find false friends and true enemies;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, achieve them.

Give the world your best, and they will kick you for it;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, give your best!

The good you do will be forgotten;
IT DOES NOT MATTER, do good!

~ Mother Theresa of Calcutta

Yes. Yes indeed, Starshade. I can't agree with that more.

Wishing you all the best and godspeed!
