Voltaire A Man Of Vision.

"Let us read and let us dance - two amusements  that will never do any harm to the world"

Voltaire 1694-1778

If all those currently busy killing , bombing and generally behaving in a manner worthy only of mindless louts were to start actually enriching life by at the very least the above two named pursuits,what a wonderful world we may have for all .

A Thought For Every Day


A marvellous thought for today and everyday :-

"Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite  picture and , if possible, speak a few sensible words "
 
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe .


Goethe had a way with words and the above  are for me, a perfect daily prescription.
Who knows, once better I may share my poem for the day with you on a YouTube Vlog.
Sharing a little song may take longer, though once upon a time could churn out a nifty number. Almost every  day I do get to hear several lovely numbers .As for pictures. In my own way I've tried to share 'captured' images so will continue to find more .
As for a few sensible words .. promise to do my best.

Atheist's,Religious Why the Fuss ? All You Need Is Love .

It all began with advertising on a bus .Maybe you recall a group of atheists wanting to state that there is no God . [Hmm did this include Allah I wonder ]
Now it seems the desire to spread this message in the same manner, is being hotly debated in Germany .
If there is one absolute truth I would like to see spread about , it is as follows :-

"We can live without religion and meditation , but we cannot survive without human affection "

Dalai Lama

The former groups can debate as they will with their theories .What I find so wise about this quotation from the Dalai Lama is ,it's a fact !
