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 truly religious person wishes and prays that those who curse and harass his religion be the first to go to heaven or paradise.
Genuinely religious people do not claim that only followers of their faith go someplace wonderful while nonbelievers all go someplace horrible.
The more a person curses and harms you, the more you should respect him. The Buddha always said that we should strive most to help and serve our enemies and that we should always put them ahead of ourselves.
Once you begin to cleanse your heart, you develop such attitudes naturally.
How did the Buddha treat his wicked, evil scheming cousin Devadatta?
With eventual supreme enlightenment.
