The Peace and Happiness Makers

I think the fact that socially, the more makers and the less takers, the higher the happiness and positive gifting among the community members.

Making something generates a "I can do this" attitude which develops to "WE can do this" social culture mentality.

Those who have conflated the words "receive" and "take" to just "take" and then may gripe there wasn't more to "take" or complain about being unhappy with the "take".... implies
we need to return to being a nation of makers,
not  passive takers....
of active positive producers for the world,
not passive consumers unable to escape
the "I can't or we can't" self defeating excuses
then borrowing greater amounts of money
to pay for resulting indebtedness.

Every "I can" begins with the self. The self learning, doing, making progress, solving problems, and making discoveries. Creativity projects contribute positively to self image, increase self confidence, self esteem, and self actualization. When the self improves, the community collective performance in which the self participates improves. The quality of life improves and prosperity grows. The self has pursued happiness and found it.

HAPPINESS

HAPPINESS

I don’t know why I write.

I don’t know why I breathe.

I know that this is trite.

I want others to see,

And if they do not see,

They will not understand.

The Love felt within me,

Expressly felt for man.

Love for love’s sake is pure

Need never be returned!

 Love is returned, and sure,

Now happiness confirmed.

Reading and Comprehension

About reading and comprehension ... It seems to me that good readers have the ability to understand the glue between the words, the glue between the sentences, and the glue between the paragraphs, and glue that connects message meaning to the perceptive mind that understands what not is written is as important as what is.

It's Just Graduation Time

Life is an assignment.  You never know when you will have to hand it in.....

IT’S GRADUATION TIME 

When it comes my time to die,

I will not ask my Maker, Why?

Life is learning and doing

Advancing each day we’re alive.

When it comes my time to die,

Allow me this thoughtful goodbye,

“It’s just graduation time…

I do thank you, (peacefully sigh)”.

*****************

AN ELEGY FOR A GOLDFISH

With death, hopefully, there is dignity and rest in peace,

Thankful for having been given a life with family,

That has been what it is, and was, nothing more, nothing less,

And thankful to have had the time to experience,

And opportunity to enjoy,

Friends, family, and fun in the sun,

Till day and life are done.

Art Requires A Loving Heart and Soul in addition to the Mind

Politics and science require
An intelligent, inquiring mind,
But art requires much more....
A loving heart and a 
Soul that speaks.
