So true GW!! Just as we turn into out parents in so many ways though we would protest that we would not! Great thoughts your have poetically expressed here. Happy Friday!!

Touche, Mike. We certainly do turn into our parents, unless we're jolted somehow out of such a realization and fulfillment. :) gw

Each generation does indeed share many of the same sentiments. As sadly, bad history repeats itself. I don't think we are here to change the world as much as to change our own hearts and minds. All else will follow. Got me thinking with this one, Gershon. Very well said!

I agree with you Joe. Change starts with us, engaging our minds and hearts. ~ Gw

Hi Gershon, I did as you asked I recalled a memory when I was seven and or eight; it was amazing (too many pages to recount). Present time, things that I am(with loved ones) arguing about is petty. In restrospect, I see that now. Well done:-) Alexis
