“We must experience the emotion that makes heart service possible” Professor Joseph Coates, a leader of the World Future Society, an extraordinary group of brilliant thinkers devoted to studying the future we are shaping, has compiled an interesting report dealing with Assumptions about the Year 2025. Coates brings up problems that society will have to face in the highly probable future, and lists several crucial issues: Managing Our World Managing Human Health Managing the Environment and Resources Population Trends Automation and Infotech Worldwide Tensions and Public Issues and Values “We must experience the emotion that makes heart service possible”

Lean on Me by Bill Withers

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain,

we all have sorrow.

But if we are wise,

we know that there's always tomorrow.

Lean on me, when you're not strong

and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on,

for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride, if I have things you need to borrow.

For no one can fill those of your needs that you won't let show.

You just call on me brother when you need a hand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

Lean on me when you‘re not strong,

and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on,

for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need somebody to lean on.

You just call on me brother when you need a hand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry.

I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me.

Call me (if you need a friend) Call me
