Proverbial Thursday – Quotes and Proverbs from Around the World

Forestwood

DSC_0157This week I have added a quote as well as a proverb. At difficult times, it is wise to ponder about and remember the following:

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. Mark Twain

“Suffering is produced by attachments”

Buddhist saying  (Let go of these things, material or otherwise, so that you are not the focal point. You see yourself as part of the larger narrative , rather than the main focal point). Too much self absorption is not healthy.

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word. Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.
