Dedication

I would like to dedicate this to my dearest, only son (who, from the time he was a baby, has taught me the most important lessons that I have learnt in life) and his mother, who has been by my side through thick and thin.

I also wish to thank all those very special close friends and family, who have inspired and helped me with their wisdom, warmth and hospitality over the years, and given me so much food for mind and body, especially my dearest sister.

I would also like to dedicate it to the memory of my late parents who gave up so much for their two children's sakes.
I do hope they are resting in peace, if there is any (thing) after life on earth.

My thanks also to all the photographers for the use of their photographs which can be seen (often in bits and pieces) on this site. It would have taken too long to ask each for their permission.
This website is not-for-profit (as should be obvious) with a worthwhile cause (or so I hope will be appreciated), therefore they should be happy for their work to be used in such a way.

Final words

President Barak Obama's inauguration speech is an absolute "must see" for those who missed it.

His words are the wisest and most important message for all the world to hear, especially at this moment in time: Forgiveness and understanding, and the "open hand" in friendship, not the "closed fist".

This will solve problems, even the most intractable. With open hands from both sides, and forgiveness and understanding, even the Palestinians and Israilis can live side by side (if not together) in peace and mutual respect and understanding.

• Violence just begets more violence.
• Confrontation breeds more confrontation.
• Positive thoughts produce positive results.
• Negative thoughts produce negative results!
• Smiles make People Happy!
• The "Middle Way" is best. "Sit" on that "fence", and you won't regret it!
  Being on it means it's easy to jump into either field and sample the ideas, opinions and culture of those who won't leave their field, mindset, or "safe old houses"!

"Having looked the beast in the eye, having asked for and received forgiveness, let us shut the door to the past, not to forget it, but to allow it not to imprison us."
ArchBishop Desmond Tutu, Chair of the South African "Truth & Reconciliation Commission"

A new "Prayer for Humanity":

Forgive us, our wives and husbands, sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, friends and neighbours, for all our transgressions against you, real or imagined.
As we forgive you, for all your transgressions against us, real or imagined.

Now that this has been done, we can sit down together and calmly find out what went wrong, and correct it, though we probably know already, don't we?
Understanding is really not that difficult, though of course, only if we can understand ourselves.
However, forgiveness doesn't come quite so easily. Best to do it first, to allow the real understanding and truth (if not known already) to come out gently, afterwards.

Do not let temptation for things that seduce us, or dull our minds, to lead us away from our goals, do harm to us, and prevent us from making the most of our lives and potential happiness.

That's why it's so important to ask for forgiveness first, you may both (think) you understand the situation or each other, but until there's real forgiveness (sought and freely given), you will not solve the problem (of course it could be that just one side could forgive the other, all the time, but that becomes unbalanced).
That person will then not be aware of any problem, so will most likely get worse. It's best to beg forgiveness of each other, together, at the same time, and then calmly sit down and seek the final understanding-the truth!

There is only one truth, one reality... but perceptions of this differ, and that's why understanding of other viewpoints is vital.

Every problem has a solution.
Best just to be open and honest right away, and then the problems won't mount up, and fester, maybe even without our being aware of the error(s) of our ways.

Don't get anxious, don't get depressed, find the source (of the problem) and there you'll find the solution, and you'll get rid of the stress.
That way you'll be positive again, and you could have a brain wave, and then you'll find success!

For all our son's and daughter's sake's (for all our sakes) we all need to act now, and start afresh, with a new spirit, a new country, a new world with a "Clean Slate". Why should we have to burden our descendants with our huge debts and the results of our bad habits and old, negative thinking.

We need to start right away, to build a new and better future for us all and our precious planet, with all it's wealth of life and beauty.

Wipe out the world's debt (as much as possible), and start afresh.
A new world wide system to regulate the world's:

• economic system
• financial system
• taxation system
• internet regulations, as Google has allowed China!:
  • to follow the laws of each country
  • and for each webmaster/website host to be resbonsible for, and accountable to the laws of his/her country
    

A new UNITED NATIONS which allows the truth to be told, and therefore the right decisions to be made.

We can go "FORWARDS to NATURE"... it's the only way!

There may be some poor thinking, but no myths, and no negative thinking, AFAIAA (as far as I am aware).

We should all feel (and be) "free" to express ourselves as long as we have these positive sentiments, as long as it is within the laws of the country where the words are written.. Hatred and incitement to murder or war should be made illegal in every country.
