WPress Challenge – Guernica by Andrea Heiberg

Mar 27, 2016Mar 27, 2016 Forestwood

We are hell bent on building walls……

Walls that take us on a desolate and dying path to nowhere…..

In an increasingly unpredictable and uncertain world, Andrea has so succinctly written how many feel in their hearts.
Inspiration for Daily Post.

Half-Light

Something to Ponder About

I am not a silent poet

A foreigner said to me
Fish or cat?
Mouse?

Who am I to tell him
we are watching Picasso and
man is no fish
neither are we cats
mice perhaps.

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, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community. View all posts by Forestwood

  I sit up in Denmark and am so honoured. To think that I might inspire someone who sits in Australia. How happy can I be?

Be as happy as you like. They say Denmark is the happiest country! Is that true?

  I think it is true. I am certainly happy when I am in Denmark, however, despite the Danes being happy with their country, they also have high rates of depression…..

Gerard, I guess that we are just as happy as you. I have heard about this nonsense but who are we to generalisize?

  For as long as I can remember having heard of this quiz, Denmark has rated highly, usually first for the happiest country. However, it is more skewed towards how the citizens feel about their country, rather than their individual rates of happiness. I don’t think anyone takes these “quizzes” very seriously, Andrea.

  Yes, each year they come up with some kind of list who are the happiest. Happiness is greatly overrated. Why not just accept how you feel? Sometimes ‘happy’ sometimes a little less ‘happy’, but, mainly content and interested in others and the world we live in.

    Well said, Gerard. Someone even wrote a book about The Happiness Trap, discussing the expectations that we all must feel happy all the time and aspire to that. But is it realistic?

  Thank you Sartenada. It is a lovely early summer photo from Norway. I suppose you recognize the fencing?
