I don't know why complicate things. It doesn't need to be this way, yet we continue to participate and encourage more complicated behavior. No solutions on my part, but I completely understand where you are coming from. I love that quote Belinda and I agree with the sentiment here. I don’t know why complicate things.

This one has a lot to think about. The one I zeroed in on was about knowing what's right and standing up for what we believe in. I've always been fascinated about how people decide when to take a stand about something they think is unjust. I have more questions about this than answers. When you talk about the BIG world events, the right or wrong action can seem very clear because we're looking back through the eyes of history. But what about right now? What in our lives, our communities, our world is happening right now that doesn't feel right. What does it take for a person to reach the point of saying, "I can't ignore this anymore; I have to do something NOW." See I'm already complicating this subject:~) Belinda — I love how you make us think with your writings. This one has a lot to think about.

We grown-ups do attach an awful lot of baggage to it, don't we? I think that you make a really good point about friendship. We grown-ups do attach an awful lot of baggage to it, don’t we?

The points you cover here are good and I have to agree with you that love is what fuels us. If there was more love given in the world the world would be a better place. There are so many children growing up abused and neglected and they can't find their way because no one cares about them. It's complicated and sad. A part of being human is having our basic human needs met....or having the strength to overcome that too. I love the quote.

But I'm pretty sure he never saw my hugs piles of laundry, waiting for my attention. A joy-sucker, that laundry. :) Well RLS was quite wise, and it is true that there’s joy to find in simple things and daily tasks.
