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.
We donāt live in bungalows, duplexes or flats. We live in our minds.
Yes, thatās our permanent residence. And there are no constraints of square-feet there. Itās a vast space with unlimited area. And you know what! No matter how well-organized our rooms, balconies, garages and verandas are, life is good only when things are sorted there ā in our mind.
And thatās where we keep things messy ā regrets piling up in one corner, expectations stuffed in a closet, secrets under the carpet, worries littered everywhere, comparisons spilt on the table, complexes leaking from an old bottle, and grudges stinking in a box.
This āreal homeā of ours , we canāt outsource housekeeping. We got to do it yourself.
