Humanity

Self preservation filters down to preservation of values and family/ friends - Yet can also be a ' Trap ' as the unique ego takes over..

The former seems to be the way to go as we slowly realise we're not special after all.

You the people have the power....Let us all unite

Go all the way, all the way..

Hi Volcano hope your keeping well . Just read the poems by Charles Bukowski recommended.In your last post . Great stuff , many thanks ..... stephen

Hai Stephen, Charles is superb isn't he, I was introduced to him via GC, a clever man who just told things as they are... simples.

Here's another clever man who was pretty similar and just told things how it is, I'm still on number two but striving for number 3

To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete. Epictetus

Thanks for that Volcano , I will check out Epictetus .

A catchy tune you might like ' Higher Ground ' by Blind Boys of Alabama .

Checked out Epictetus which I struggled with a bit . It did however lead me to Eckhart Tolle who is quite a character .

I like this thread.

Vast scope for some deep thought.

Anyone new to the thread I'd really recommend the above links.

Here to propel the thread back to prominence taking a one-way trip on the Punk-Rock Express to Unityville with the most heartfelt, fist-pumping song I know.

My favourite song about unity, performed in unity...

Morning Volcano . Great to see you still going strong in recovery. I imagine and sincerely hope the addiction is now confined to the past, we don't want that hanging round our necks for eternity. Take care ....stephen
