When i was younger (like many) I was not quiet as sentimental as i am now, sad news stories or movies never really affected me too much and I got into a number of scrapes (nothing serious mind you but i didn't mind a good scrap if one was ever instigated against me, i was never ever the aggressor though! honest) but as I hope with all (or most) of you reading this i grew up & realised i was not the centre of attention and that the world did not simply revolve around me & that violence for the MOST part was pointless (of course you have to stand up to aggression when needs be as in WW2)

In fact i learned how harsh life can really be and then reached that point i think most reach where they become exasperated by the worlds tendency for violence (of course this is mainly down to the powers that be & their military might) most normal folk, although capable of bad & sometimes mean things are i think generally pretty GOOD people wouldn't you agree? if we could keep all these folk on EARTH and ship off the bad, violent one's to another planet i think we'd all be far better off? i know it's not quiet as simple as that! the human brain & mind is a strange thing! probably stranger than we realise?

I do wonder sometimes if it was put to EVERYONE on Earth....that the world could be made a more EVEN & FAIR place if everyone that had too much were willing to give up some of their goods and food, power etc for these others that had none or very little so that everyone had exactly the same, WOULD THEY?
So everyone would have the same amount of food (enough to live on) enough power to power their Tv's , fridges, cooking , transport, a holiday each year for everyone (some have not had holidays for many years) well you get the idea!

I wonder just what percentage would agree to do so?

I know people like to better themselves and it's purely hypothetical but IF everything could change in a second if everyone agreed (well that's unlikely isn't it?) but it would be interesting to see how many would agree to this...MANY would lose, some BIG (the very rich & powerful) others not so much and MANY throughout the world would GAIN so everyone would have a good standard of living complete with medical assistance if needed.

WOULDN'T THAT BE COOL?

But of course for many humans enough is never enough sadly, hell i have my Christmas List :) and i'm hoping Santa pays a vist but would i give this and other stuff up to level the playing field for everyone on the planet? i'm no saint even now but SURE WHY NOT.

I know it's not as simple or as easy as this...but really HOW MANY NUCLEAR MISSILES do we want & need? not a fan of Corbyn (Labour leader) but on this we are similar (except in this dangerous would i would certainly retain it and sadly if needs be prepared to use...DAMN that would be a sad day but you have to hand it to our Prime Minister Teresa May who said she would)
ALL this other money could be put to better use surely? i mean surely these will NEVER be used (yikes! forgot for a moment there who's in charge of these countries) WELL LET's HOPE they have BRAINS...as it will NOT END WELL should they do so.
Perhaps those RICH ELITE will survive in their BIG Tom Cruise Bunkers (if a recent Enquirer photo is to be believed?) but then what? you wanna live your life out with these kinda people all around you? more fool you! they'll come out of the bunker and turn their attentions to making money straight afterwards.

SORRY Gone right off plot...I guess i just want a kinder, caring WORLD, the people are here, it's just those in power and privilege which don't seem to want it, SAD AREN'T THEY and with no further ado...

Take a look at this quiet wonderful short film detailing a set of photographs taken each time throughout the year featuring an older couple...It is quiet obvious what it's showing as THIS is WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE :kiss:
Don't read the messages below it should you vist the site, there are some people that just can't help themselves from being wisea..es.



As with the most recent alien film "Arrival" i do wonder if such a species would be able to understand our thinking & emotions and the fact that we all think different things...they'll be some that HATE this (i'll never understand why? but hey that's upto you!) but i wonder sometimes just what & how those other species out there will think? will they feel empathy? pity? and the like? it should prove to be most interesting when we finally are introduced to them :)

BTW i think this idea of taking the same photo in the same place each year is a rather charming one! and i do hope this gentlemen is doing ok?

There was a delightful news item not too long ago in which people went back to a place they once visted, played or worked, some many years ago and they had their photo re-taken by this photographer at the same place & in the same pose (again another neat idea i think i may use) of course sadly, some of these people were missing from the newer photographs :(

I guess we really have to try and make the best of things whilst we can...just gonna shout out LOVE here, why not!
