Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Matter cannot be created or destroyed. All
the matter and energy that ever existed still exists -- no more, no less. Therefore, the matter and energy that comprises
all of everyone, our bodies, our thoughts, and our souls, have always been and will always be. Take comfort in this.

Humans prosper in both health and spirit when living with love,
happiness, and peace. Humans get sick and wither when living with stress,
sadness, and in judgment of others. Perhaps our bodies and minds are telling us
something about the natural laws that created us. Perhaps we should
listen.
