THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When you see a man led to prison say in your heart, "Perhaps he is escaping from a narrower prison." And when you see a man drunken say in your heart, "Perhaps he sought escape from something still more unbeautiful." -Kahlil Gibran, poet and artist

Hello Boni,
Nice thoughts, and in many cases very true ! Sometimes it is hard to
see the other side from our dimmed view of present day highway moments,
but it's nice to be reminded there is one.
thanks!

Thanks for stopping by!
interesting take Richard!
What's really got me thinking - it has been rumoured that Gibran himself was inebriated more often than most and it therefore begs the questions (he so beautifully poses! )

hello
After reading your comment it occurs to me that I've known some tradesmen whose best work was done when they had a few beers in them. Have also known a few people who would commit a non-violent crime when the "real" world became too much so they could get a break in jail where they had no responsibilities.........stan
