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.
“Standing on the seashore, one can watch wave after wave rise, dash against the rocks and break, merging into Infinity - nobody knows where. This world may also be likened to a vast ocean. How many myriads of beings are born and die at every moment and where they go when disappearing from our sight is beyond the grasp of human intelligence.
This constant flux in nature illustrates the fact that, in reality, birth and death do not exist. There is only One Supreme Being That manifests itself in countless forms, in numberless modes of life.
Learn to see the beauty in the laws of nature, to appreciate their impartial Justice - and the contemplation of the Creator of all things will spontaneously awaken in you.
