Wonderful pictures and great writing …. I really enjoyed this!
Thank you for appreciating..
I only ever say what I mean – it’s a rule!
I like people who follow rules for good purposes but not for their ego…
I have very few rules but the ones I have I am strict about. I believe it creates a balanced and more enlightened me.
Yes rules definitely defines an individual.I agree that it makes us more cheerful,enlightened and more confined to ourself..We agree to like ourselves more and become free..and not defined by someone else
Exactly … and I do believe that if more people embraced who they are instead of chasing an idea of who they think they should be that the planet would be a more contented place. It is, of course a particularly Western problem but I fear that parts of Asia have succumbed in the last couple of decades – this is not progress at all!
Yes correct..Fully agree with you
