I (John Stone) have never had any great desire to abolish poverty or save fallen women; I am, and always have been, deeply suspicious of those who wish to do these things.

Everyone has an angel... A guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day old man next day little girl.

Reminding that its us... its everyone of us who holds the power of the worlds we create. ↗
