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.
A Chinese stopped at a local restaurant after a day roaming around in Spain.
While sipping his wine, he noticed a sizzling food being served next table. Not only did it look good, smell too was nice.
He asked waiter: What you just served? Look like Spanish Oysters!'
Waiter: Senor, you got excellent taste! Those not Oysters...they are Cojones de Toro, bull's balls from bull fight this morning. A rare delicacy!'
The man: Waah, can order one, can aa.. ?
Waiter: So sorry Senor. Only one serving one day because only one bull fight every morning. Tomorrow u come early and place order, we sure serve u this delicacy.'
I
Next morning, the man returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the special dish. After a few bites n inspecting his plate, he called to the waiter and said: These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller. Yesterday it was bigger.
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied: Si, Senor. Sometimes the bull dies and sometimes the man dies !' 😂
