We filter everything through our past experiences and knowledge, and no two people experience the same life.<br />Lincoln was short and to the point - I like that!Alex J.

People want to escape lives of dreariness in entertainment that wisks them away from the hurtful to a time of just flowing with the sensations.<br /><br />I don't mind the different sides of situations -- just that people cannot seem to resolve differences decently and peacefully. Sigh. Great, insightful comment.<br /><br />Mooderino:<br />You're right: you can't run a country by slogan. And things have gotten to such a state by mismanagement, it is a knot beyond untying.

Makes for great advertising slogans, not so much for a admirable system of government.<br /><br />mood<br /><a href="http://moodywriting.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Moody Writing</a>mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-87088475960585597692013-11-20T02:11:32.744-06:002013-11-20T02:11:32.744-06:00Hi Roland - sadly people don't think very much...Hi Roland - sadly people don't think very much, there's too much selfishness and lack of understanding ..<br /><br />I don't fully understand or understand sometimes what I'm reading - especially the political aspects ... or world comments ...<br /><br />I'm not too happy about being run (governed) by text speak ... it's too glib, while Lincoln, Churchill and other great orators were able to be amazingly wise and concise.<br /><br />I'm sure people don't fully read what I write ... I can read that sometimes in the comments ... yet I'm not writing great philosophies or treaties - just putting some ideas across ... some simple to grasp, others perhaps not so - as they're on British culture .. and our perspectives are different if we're from different continents.<br /><br />If only we could be one nation (one world) with one set of ideals .. with no sides - we'd all be better off ... we need discourse, but not disagreement and downright intransigience ... and always blaming others ..<br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-81436524918062884962013-11-19T22:14:54.460-06:002013-11-19T22:14:54.460-06:00D.G.:

I'm not sure I agree with some of the contents. <br /><br />A person raised in a home where one belief is traditional, can still grow up with different beliefs of their own. <br /><br />It may depend on the person, their education, and who they associate with. Interesting question, Roland.D.G. Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213237734772028645noreply@blogger.com
