Where Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are diagnosed with cancer and head off to fulfill some dreams and goals. Good movie. Don't forget to Dance Like No One is Watching!

I believe the topic of happiness, particularly as it relates to helping others understand that they deserve to be happy and, if they choose, can take certain steps toward becoming happy or happier, is an important contribution to humanity. I recently published (December 2008) The Short Book on Happiness: Transform Your Life in 10 Days. I hope you have an oppotunity to take a look. It is on amazon, B&N, etc. Thanks, and I hope we have an opportunity to connect sometime soon! David Cane David,

There's no left, without right. There's no up, without down. There's no life without death. I challenge my productive and busy business owner clients to sit in complete silence for 5 minutes a day for 1 week. The instructions are to sit in an upright chair, with eyes closed focusing on the breath. When thoughts arrive, they're to return to their breath. In the 12 years, I've been posing this challenge, not one of my clients have succeeded. I suspect that as they sit with themselves and get out of "busyness", they get in touch with their existential angst and start experiencing thoughts and feelings that they'd rather avoid, one of them being the "background hum" of death. Until we come face-to-face with death, we can't live fully. Life exists in opposites or dichotomies. There’s no left, without right. There’s no up, without down. There’s no life without death.

The lyrics provide some good messages and combined with the music you really get a profound sense of the song. I think people need to listen to this song to get the full effect.
