Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.
Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.
In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
Datta Patil is a resident of Santa Clara, California. He earns a lucrative income as the Director of Engineering at Yahoo, USA.
But his heart resides in Halgara, a tiny village in the Latur district of Maharashtra, where he was born.
Datta makes sure he visits his family once in every year, and take them on pilgrimages.
It was during one such trip in 2016 that he forayed into transforming Halgara from a drought-hit to a drought-free village.
In the last three years, he has spent over 22 lakhs from his own pocket recharging the groundwater level. Apart from desilting canals with his motivated team which consisted of friends, families, and villagers, Datta built 26 check dams.
In fact, if you were to look at the satellite images of Halgara before 2016 and after 2018, you’d be stunned at the green cover that now graces it.
