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.
Brahmajna Ma: Without busying himself to seek out enjoyment, and luxury for himself, his wife and children, a householder should look after the peace and happiness of the whole family and help the neighbors to the best of his ability: without giving too much attention to wife and children he should help the needy and poor and feel happy and sorry for all. Far from doing any harm to others, it is the duty of a householder to see that the thought of harming others doesn’t even find a place in his mind, and also not to be jealous when others obtain peace and happiness.
A jealous man suffers from his own jealousy and also causes others to suffer. Do not pay back malice nor harm anybody in return for malice. A wrongdoer reaps the fruit of his own actions. Always try to be free from pride. Never think that samsara is real and the abode of permanent peace. If you do not cherish this idea jealousy, spite and pride will gradually disappear. The more a man observes generosity the more will the narrow limits of the darkness of the mind break open and so the mind will broaden more to usher in a glimpse of the true light.
