I think we do forget to be in the moment. We see the big picture as overwhelming forgetting that all the little pieces are what makes is special in the moment. I know I'm guilty of that a lot.

Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.
Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.
In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!

*So....... after a week, the 1st Daughter texted and it read as*
*"NESCAFE"*
*and the next Week the 2nd Daughter texted as*

*The mother being an intelligent Woman went to get a Nescafe Tin and she read the Label on which it was written as*
*"Fantastic till the Last Drop"*
*Then she went to her Husband's pack of WILLS Cigarette and it read as "Extra Long, King Size"*
*She smiled and said "not bad for their Ages".*
*Subsequent week, the 3rd Daughter texted and it read as*
*"Indigo Delhi Hyderabad",*
*The mother was not able to decode the message and then she called Indigo Airway's Helpdesk to enquire about their Delhi Hyderabad flight and they replied*
