Global Updates/Nelson Mandela quote

Thu, 07/17/2008 - 12:21 — Ishmael Osekre

My highlight for today is bi-polar disorder.

Do you have a friend who is bipolar?

Listen to the stories on the NY Times link. I don't know what your life has been like, but it's important to hear about what others have been through and continue to go through everyday.

This is not about shedding tears. This is about developing respect.
