Interesting narrative. The precondition for peace is justice; its precondition is truth, and its precondition is honor. So let us all be honorable.

Yup. Those were good days. I just turned 75 this month. I am thankful for the times I grew up in.

The downward slide gets more apparent with each passing year. My main reason for hanging around is to see if I can help break the slide for the sake of my kids, my grand kids, and all of future life on this little gem of a planet.

We were lucky 'back then'. Times were sure different. I remember hitchhiking all over creation and never worrying about my safety. Didn't have to, did we?

Interesting that you are a Taoist...I recently began reading Alan Watts as he was a long time friend of my 'guru', Richard Emmanuel whose motto is 'There is no hope. Get over it!' Haha!

Great stories Frarnie, Frannie, Frances! Keep them coming.

What a lovely story . The days when more people trusted others . When more people were trustworthy. But I guess there are still many nice people around

I have had more than 20 housemates in my life, maybe 25 even now...I would say only one of 2 people really did not work out, the rest was ok and some great. So its like batting about 900, real good. Its funny the way we think of danger, or threat. When you are generous, and it works out fine, you will never know how your actions actually changed the outcome. Sometimes people really need some kindness and to be trusted and it changes everything. Few are freaks.
