Good Vs Evil

A  L  O  H  A !

"The limits of my language 

are the limits 

of my world” 

Ludwig Wittgenstein

"Nothing is Good or Bad; 

But thinking 

makes it so."

                                                         Shakespeare

" To know one's self

is wisdom,

but to know one's

neighbors

is genius."

Minna Antrim

A crucial Life Skill today is:

Tolerance for Ambiguity.

Remember when there was

A Right Way

to do things?

Greater cultural awareness;

and using computers, 

has brought us into a reality

where different ways

can accomplish a task.

Awareness and thinking

are now as important

(to ourselves, our families,

our societies)

as habit.

I believe that it is important

to avoid Good v Bad thinking,

lest I become one of those

who detect evil everywhere

except their own conflicts

and subconscious biases. 

Once you deny a person

their innate complex humanity,

to say nothing of a precious

individual soul,

somebody is going to

get hurt.

Lovely to see YOU again

my Friend!

I love not man the less,

swim the sea,

not only in calm

so is happiness

peace

Nostalgia Good & Bad

A  L  O  H  A !

" We could never

 have loved the earth

 so well 

if we had had

 no childhood

 in it. "

George Eliot 

" If you're yearning 

for the good old days,

 just turn off

 the air conditioning. "

Griff Niblack

" Nostalgia is a file

 that removes the

 rough edges 

from the good old days. "

Doug Larson 

"It's never too late 

to be 

who you might

 have been."

George Eliot

  =^..^=  

Nostalgia

is a visit to

hallways where

you lived,

walked,

 and breathed

a long time ago.

So much comes to mind.

Perspectives emerge,

forgotten joys

live once more

for the moment.

But 

you cannot 

live there.

We must emerge

as from cinema

into the bright lights

of Now.

Don't remain

in the shadows,

peering out

with suspicion

and derision

at those going about

their lives today.

We call such 

shadow dwellers

"Old People."

Don't BE one!
