Paid Retirement
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. Yes, grateful - you and other retired folk have earned your living, contributed to society (and still do). Not that I\'m that young. In fact I (we) are both extremely old. You must have got your pension first around 1100. Did William the Conqueror\'s Government first pay you?

Excellent thought provoking writing. I don\'t agree with your finale though. In arriving at acceptance of a challenging subject we move through several stages of reasoning to arrive at several plateau of understanding on a given subject. Entering in to conversation with an individual of a different opinion forces us to mentally retreat back through those plateau and re-reason, re-evaluate out chosen end point..... and we may even change our mind.
That\'s not the making of a lazy mind sir!

Bless you, Goldie. I have a firm belief your intelligence will win the day. Dementia is a God stricken sunken sorrow in which the desire to love grows even larger than life itself.

Such aspirations & achievements always bring a smile ~ Salt of the Earth ! The same is true of all HE / FE Lecturers !
Yours as always BRIAN ~

Ahh lovely write Gold. RSPCA adverts on telly can\'t be watered down really. They show cruelty of man to animals, and the caring work of the RSPCA.
There\'s Christian healing ministry too, I believe, and not necessarily on a spiritual plane, there are the medical professions, etc too. All that tend to body, spirit, or soul.
I believe it has a spiritual plane too, as it all helps, directly or indirectly, to further the Kingdom of God, one aspect of which is healing (as in some of my poems on Mark\'s Gospel).
Guineas in my pic say \'Thank you!\'

Andy,

I enjoy coffee anytime, anywhere!
I enjoyed Nicola Benedetti’s Fantasie! I could listen to her music for hours while sitting in my favorite chair with my cup of coffee!
Thank you for sharing!

My love to Joyce and to you!

A good write Gold. I don\'t have coffee much, but tea without milk is like castor oil I think.

History.
kevin browne said:

What if the losers were right? Wherever we in the world we are surrounded by history. Take every city there is in every corner of the world and you\'ll here a different voice, language, culture, people, but must remember some of the most beautiful places on Earth are shrouded by their beauty and its grace. History is a word normally too easy to use, but if you study it then the perspectives change incredibly. I try not to blame the past in anything I\'ve ever done and that goes for the planet too. History is a beautifully important wealth of knowledge in which we should clearly see the mistakes we have made. There is no going backwards in history to attempt to change it. It\'s happened and so will change happen in the future, also. Learn from the future, and sometimes the past. the future always seems to come so quickly so hurry up and make change for it. Its where the laws of physics belong ever growing stronger. If you look at the beauty intrinsically into your own meaning of life then life will ease up and help us along the paths we walk to in the coming years.

Reminds me of Cuba with the somewhat distorted interpretation of events which seems to be accepted in the west. A so-true write Andy.
