I believe promoting awareness of anything at all is a noble action, for it provides insight and knowledge to those within our scope of reach. It can help comfort, catalyze response, and inform those that care enough of such notifications, which pertain to their specific pursuits to learn more of whatever particular interests they follow. Whether you are a columnist for
Sports Illustrated, a small-time wedding photographer, a middle-school teacher, a television producer, a storyteller, an online comic illustrator, a cartoon voice actor, a street perfomer, a restaurant host(ess), a tailor, an all-star athlete, a prime minister, a religious mentor, a mother, a father, a friend, or an antagonist, we all spread a message & image to those around us that lingers for years, generations even, of how we lived, and what our purpose was. It molds our current being and shapes our future actions.
It is a broad definition of the endeavor in which we seek to communicate uniquely amongst each other, but it is also a simple enough task for anyone to reach through to someone who resembles our own characteristics and just speak locally with them. If given enough time and parameters, we all become teachers unto one another. Together with luck, we each gain an innate knowledge of self, and building upon our values, we explore the knowledge within the community, inquire of the bulletins, and through discussion, we are able to bestow contemporary wisdom upon the ears & minds that are lent to us.
But, I also witness those who try to obfuscate and bury certain truths and opinions as the villainy in which noble purveyors must struggle against; an aim to charge through the censorship which may arise in contention, to be allowed freely our right to proclaim our chosen rhetoric, and our stake to find somewhere we belong.

If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good,
if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself,
it has been a successful day. —Alex Noble

As such, my current signature reflects such a notion of spreading goodwill, news, entertainment, tragedy, interests, joy, science, etc., and/or whatever, all in a conscientious effort to welcome and relate with humanity as we each individually see it. Personally we, one and all, are a beacon of the particular and individual acumen we have come to possess. It is by our method and medium in which we differ, with whom we try to correspond with, and why we incline toward promulgating our especial message throughout the seasons.
(In reality, most of my past signatures convey the ideal of enhanced expressions.)

“I accept chaos. I am not sure whether it accepts me. I know some people are terrified of the bomb. But then some people are terrified to be seen carrying a modern screen magazine. Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.” —Bob Dylan
“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life... as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” —Booker T. Washington
Was something brushed across my mind
That no one on earth will ever find?
Heaven gives its glimpses only to those
Not in position to look too close. —Robert Frost
What harm is there in dreaming, if it eases the pain? What good is reality, if it blots out hope? Can a man's mind be washed without bleaching his soul?
Perhaps... we scholars see only what we wish, hiding the rest behind a mist, as in the vistas we paint. Impressions, without detail. The man is dwarfed by the mountain; the pain or the joy on his face, the clothes he wears, who can tell? A scene without reality. No battles, no blood.
"We see too far. Perhaps we do not see at all." —Bold Talent
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain. —Frank Herbert
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. —M. Scott Peck
He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign. —Victor Hugo
My main goal in life is to be situationally appropriate. I usually fail.—Crack
The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to. —Chuang Tzu
Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler. —Albert Einstein
I do, however, find safety in the knowledge that for whatever the present situation may be, I can look to the literary expressions of the multitudes, both past and present, become in-tune to their feelings, if only for a brief moment—and in that limited interval, I become integrated with the sentiments of many, because for us all, we find ourselves searching for the comely companionship of another, and asserting that the knowledge we have gained has been for the greater good of providing a foundation for who we have become, and what we aspire to impart upon history long passed. —attributed -- Jetée
