Research

A 30-year study found that people who attend religious services regularly have lower blood pressure and half the risk of heart attack as non-attendees, even after making adjustments for smoking and income. Patients undergoing open-heart surgery who received strength and comfort from religion were three times more likely to survive than those without religious support.

 Anyway
A poem by Mother Theresa

Mother Teresa hung a copy of this poem on the wall of an orphanage she founded in Calcutta.

People are often unreasonable,
Illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse you
Of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
You will win some false friends and
Some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

People may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God.
It is never between you and them anyway.
