Artists dream of future realities and, by their art, communicate them to us. I have heard it said they are some of the most valuable members of society and I find no reason to disagree with that viewpoint.
In Praise Of Artists
No Ordinary People
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously – no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.― C.S. Lewis

Meet Koichi Takada, the Australian architect applauded by David Attenborough
When the much-loved naturalist Sir David Attenborough turned to social media this week to point the complimentary finger at Australia’s architect Koichi Takada, it was all for good reason.
The Japanese-born and Sydney-based architect is set to create the world’s greenest building; and didn’t expect the announcement to set his own social media alight with praise.
Koichi Takada Architects will construct a 30-storey apartment building in Brisbane for their client Aria Property Group, with works to commence at the end of 2021.
Human Rights Video #20: Right to Assembly
One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.
This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.
Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!
Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.
WBC Champion
Bridger Walker is the 6-year-old boy who shielded his younger sister from an attacking German Shepherd. He received over 90 stitches over his body, but saved his three-year-old sister from certain death. ” If anyone should die, it’s me, because I’m her brother, and that’s my job”
Today, the World Boxing Council (WBC) recognized him, as World Heavyweight champion. It was entered in the official WBC register that he was the best fighter in the world on that fateful day.
Big little warrior!

Why Are So Many People Sad?
There is a lot of truth in this. The easiest thing to to to start feeling better is to go for a walk and look at things. After that, the next easiest is to start eating more healthy foods. Just a fish oil capsule a day is a good start. Almost anyone can add that to their diet.
