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.
Happiness is the Eternal Oneness.
It is only when you are dreaming that you see the "many".
Therefore, wake up and roar.
When you sleep you are all alone, and while you're asleep you dream of mountains, rivers, forests, friends, animals and a world full of people.
But is the dream real?
Let me tell you another story. One night, a man goes to sleep and dreams that he gets married and has many children together with his wife. Then one day, a flood comes and all of his children are lost in the flood. His wife too, get washed away with the flood.
The man is now suffering. He is crying, "Where is my wife? Where are my children?"
Meanwhile, a tiger comes toward him, and he instantly wakes up.
After waking, he fells so happy.
Even though in his dream his wife and children have died, on waking he knows that it is all unreal. Even the suffering was unreal.
So now let the tiger appear to tell you, "Wake up, this is a dream."
