THE HAPPY PATH

Just a thought - a simple one at that!

PERHAPS FROM January 1, 2025, we could all try our very best to walk the HAPPY PATH.

THAT by holding out a GENTLE HAND to anybody who needs one.

EVERY so often a he or she will wander the Cafe's hall like a horner rooster or similar, declaring prowess with the letters..  If a being has to brag, it's more ego than skill.

TRUTH is:  anybody or bodies who know(s) A from Z has/have the ability to incubate magic of a simple kind.

THAT  is, from a sudden thought that says.  ' This has to come into the world without fear or worry about another person  ripping it apart.

A KIND HAND will and should be, surely - just that, KIND.

ARROGANCE and CYNACISM has little value:  it deters a glimmer of light from filling the heavens.

So says someone whose light will fade.. and fade ..  until it goes out!  :)

This is amazing, Emma! I love how this story beautifully emphasizes kindness and humility, encouraging a creative space where ideas can flourish without fear, such a heartfelt and inspiring message for the new year! Amazing work!!!

Hi! Anything for a few more smiles here, there and everywhere!

It's a lack of curiosity and imagination, and low self-esteem masquerading as arrogance that leads to non-constructive criticism. Many pay lip service to diversity, but in fact it's rarely tolerated. Each pair of eyes has a unique world view and it's something interesting, or better yet, may add to our knowledge of the world, for no one possesses "the truth,"

Thank you for this, and I love how the 2nd use of "KIND" can be interpreted in two ways.... "A KIND HAND will and should be, surely - just that, KIND.

[emmajoygreen]

Thank you so much, Amanda. 'Kind' is a gentle word that your thesaurus approves and quite enjoys!

Wishing you and yours a kind and smiling Holiday period - and same into and throughout 2025. :)

Yes.
No more ripping people apart like they the font of all knowledge when their own writing is dubious at best, while saying to those that listen you can't be that bad when you obviously are...
Or ranting that such and such is a such and such when they obviously aren't, otherwise they would go to the police and get it sorted...
Or having a mental breakdown one minute and acting like the rest of the world is insane...
Or, well that's just today, but you get the idea.
Maybe we should all take a leaf from that Lennon fella and give peas a chance.... no, that's not right is it?
Well, I'm sure it will come back to me, eventually.
Maybe 2025 could be the year that people stop taking out their own insecurities on others and just buddy well calm themselves down to just a slight panic, instead of their usual tsunami of bile and hatred.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Perficked! 😃

Many thanks, Lorry. I agree with you wholeheartedly, maybe it's the Britishness of your thoughts, opinions. Bile and hatred we could all do without, Without we could actually learn what friendship's about. Happy everything, my friend, have a crackering good time.

Everyone's "quill" is unique in some way. No one's is best or worst...we write as we do, why we do, when we do.
I have seen too many young, creative minds be an extinguished candle because of harsh Arrogance and Cynacism.
And it is so unfortunate.

Your light will never fade, em.

Not in this poet's old eyes.

Your surely know - after all the years, how much I value your friendship, guidance and all. Wishing you the memories of Christmas past and the joy of times around the corner, red hats and all!

And so be it. We're all just having fun and allowing our creativeness to run freely. Always, we should do so without friction. Remember--do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. If everyone would abide by that one simple rule, the world be so much happier.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Amen to what you said here, Samuel! Amen.
