Thought for the day

We must hold a shakey peace until the ingredients for a more permanent peace emerge.
 
Whether the candle can burn at both ends depends on its shape in your life.
 
Try to harness the things you hate about yourself and having done so, destroy them.
 
It's easy to say things are easy, but to do that easy thing, we say others should do, is not so easy.
 
If 10 die you get a memorial, but if one is killed every month for ten months, you get nothing.
 
Her husband was taken away from an outback town, very ill, to hospital. She had to stay to look after everything and worked hard, what else to do, and yes, she finished digging and completed the ditch. Then she hurried to the door, there was a knock, and he said "sadly your husband has passed away", she cried and she cried, and then, she carried on working.

And none of them really need anything, lets get a campaign to save on memorials. No need to be sad Noiura, the sun is shining through my window over the screen and it is Saturday and off soon to see my Grandson play footy.

A tough one that about memorials. I was in the UK once near a village called Eynsford in Kent, when I was able to walk 50km in a day, and I came across a memorial in a road called Sparepenny Lane. It was a memorial for a Kiwi pilot who had been shot down and it had been funded about 40 years after his death by people in a nearby village, I think from memory, called Shoreham. A tribute to a forgotten pilot from a far away country who came to defend their land, peace and freedom, personally, I thought it was worth a memorial.
 
Billy Joel had to sack (one of) his accountant(s) a year or so ago - had robbed him of 30 million !. Took him some months years to twig there was a problem - I think someone else twigged during an audit, whatever...

When asked surely he realised that some money was missing , he answered "no why would I?"

I just want to have that lifestyle for a week or two - where I didn't notice that the odd 30 million was missing from my bank account
 
Remember those who are very old as even the smallest task, packing a suitcase for a short holiday, is so very difficult and can lead to great stress. Difficult for many to understand and a fact that younger people can so sadly and tragically miss.

To me this means the mind can`t ever be mastered.Frustration is a common trait for both old and young.
 
You mean you believe in God? Yes, yes, yes, but I do not have a religion! How come? Well, I pray direct and have cut out the middle man!

Hi Wysiwyg, To me, from an experience of seeing such a situation, the mind can be mastered, but in very old age, becomes unmastered, and the person finds it both hard to accept or perhaps to know - best wishes noirua
