 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: "If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster then it does." Lewis Carroll, Alice In Wonderland What are your views on this quote? ---- I do agree with the quote to some degree. On the plus side, your life can become surprisingly easier because then, you can attend your own business with full concentration, since the drama that comes from others is usually nil. On the other hand, how can you, unless you are totally detached from society and your loved ones, keep away from helping others, encourage them, and give them advice that is asked for, emphasizing the words “advice that is asked for” because unasked advice is meddling. On still a larger scale, it is impossible to only mind your own business and work for your own welfare when you know for certain in your country or state of systemic injustices; that is, rotten things being done to people or groups of people. Then, it is important to speak up and even take arms (metaphorically speaking) to right the wrongs, or else, you can be condemned by history for ineptitude, dereliction, or lack of concern for one’s civic duties. |
