In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Yes, that's right, FEMALE hormones!
Montreal University scientists revealed this.
Men should take a concerned look at their Whiskey consumption.
The theory is that Whiskey contains female hormone producing agents (it contains phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough Whiskey men turn into women.
To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 cups of Whiskey each within a one (1) hour period.
It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% of all these men:
1) *Argued over nothing.*
2) *Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.*
3) *Gained weight.*
4) *Talked excessively without making sense.*
5) *Became overly emotional.*
6) *Couldn't drive.*
7) *Failed to think rationally,*
and
8) *Had to sit down while urinating.*
