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!
While treating an old farmer, the Doctor struck a conversation with him.
Eventually the topic got around to Rahul and his role.
The old farmer said, 'Well sahib, Rahul is a *"Khambe ka Kachhua!''*
Not being familiar with the term, the Doctor asked him, what a "Khambe ka Kachhua'' was? 🤔
The old farmer said, 'When you're walking down a village road and if you come across a khamba (a fence post) with a turtle balanced on top, that's a "Khambe ka Kachhua''.
The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued...
"You know he didn't get up there by himself,
he doesn't belong up there,
he doesn't know what to do while he's up there,
he's elevated beyond his ability to function &
you just wonder which idiots put him up there, to begin with!"
The doctor was awe struck!
😜😝🤣🤣
Never came across such a perfectly fitting, comprehensive description! Amazing!
