A refreshingly honest and wise post as always Donna – you’re right about the symbolism instead of the doing but I suppose for a lot of people at least it’s a show of something.

Excellent post Donna. I was listening to a young person being interviewed recently about their lives and one thing came across clearly. His had been told growing up that he would and could have it all including happiness. He was now disappointed and wanted to know where it all was and why didn’t he have it! The reality is that 95% have to work for a living and a good life is not handed to us on a plate. Also many expect others to make us happy when we are the only ones who can do that. Sometimes it is as simple as making a decision to be happy and grateful for all that we do have instead of what we don’t.

I take a bow! This is such an amazing post! I don’t know where to start! I agree with every single paragraph and see it exactly the same way. There is so much we can be grateful for. Also that Gandhi quote As long as we fight back we can never have peace. We don’t need to agree with others but we need to be tolerant and respect that they have the right of their opinion as we want it. Let’s choose love! The only way to break that circle of revange and hatred – for us and for the ones who lost loved ones in war and terror.
