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.
When goodness grows weak ,
When evil increases ,
I make myself a Body .
In every age , I come back
To deliver the Holy ,
To destroy the sin of the sinner ,
To establish righteousness .
One of the great distinctions between Western and Eastern thought is that the West tends to think in terms of linear time span ___ the world and human history having a definitive beginning , middle and end . On this horizontal time line , God has specific , historical interventions .
In contrast , the East thinks in terms of great cycles : ascension and descension , creation and destruction , growth and decay ; these cycles are seen as continually repeating waves in an Eternal Cosmic Process . Civilizations , Religions and Individuals are all part of this on going cycle .
The appearance of the Avatar (God manifestation in human form) is essential to this Eternal Movement of Spiritual Decline by regeneration .
