The World, What A Wonderful Place !

Signposts of Knowledge are everywhere.

At times it seems that there just isn't enough time to experience and see all the different attractions around the world. Even just the things I find interesting.

Gosh, going to Art Museums and catching glimpses of our collective past must be one of the most interesting activity to do. Watching a program on Leonardo Da Vinci and the discovery of one of his paintings, put it all in perspective for me, or rather made ' another penny drop ' ...

As a norm, we tend to laugh at how old fashioned people were, twenty, thirty or fifty years ago. Never mind going back centuries. Don't we somehow feel pity for the people who lived in the middle ages or thereabouts. What could they possibly teach us ? We are the 'it ' generation who knows it all...at least it would seem so to others.

Yes, there was no vision, thought or even need of all those modern inventions that we all seem to not be able to live without, but what if we could actually learn from the likes of Da Vinci....who lived in the fifteenth century ?

Could there be lots of other " Teachers of Life " out there in the past, who we somehow just shrugged off because we assumed that they couldn't have known what is important to our generation ?

Now with all the economic problems around the world, is the Universe possibly pulling its invisible strings, to make us sit up and take notice of what is important after all ? Yes, there are a lot of people in dire straits, yet this whole economic problem is forcing us to reconnect with our families. Either through moving back home, or to just leaning on them in times of need.

All the huge leaps we have taken with technological capabilities are great, yet they have made us fragment as families, and lets face it, families are what is important. It is our family that gives us that feeling and knowledge that we can cope with anything...
