      — Isn’t it interesting how an image can evoke so many emotions? Of course, that’s why they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Visual art moves us humans. Yes, some of us seem to be moved more easily than others, but the potential is there for u

      WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? To be happy. And to find what being happy is – hopefully one day. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? I don’t think there’s much difference because sometimes the wrong thing can be right. And vice versa. WHERE

      ‘My Idea Of Happiness Has Changed’

      Aug 12, 2019

      When I was a little girl, my idea of happiness was books and baking. A day spent making a cake followed by curling up with the likes of Louisa May Alcott or Laura Ingalls Wilder was perfection. I was quiet and shy, not particularly physical or advent

      Dedication

      To my beloved son Oscar,

      You are lucky I think in that you enjoy and excel at learning. This is a gift and also a powerful position to be in.

      So what to do with it? It is all too easy to believe that the system has all the answers; many have fallen prey to its wiles. You told me that you thought that people are prone to selfishness... and whilst you are right people can be and often are selfless too. Be generous with your gift and remember to think for yourself

      Critical thinking is not a new idea, but it is I believe increasingly important in a world that is all too often filled with hearsay and misinformation. How do we differentiate a truth from a lie? Honesty from deceit? Fact from fiction? According to Buddhist tradition, Siddhartha Gautama said this which is wise and relevant: -

      Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. Siddhartha Gautama

      I wish you happiness and success and look forward to the day when we will discuss all things as equals, as should be the case for all. I am very proud of you and you bring out the best in me. I dedicate this book to you; may you achieve what you set out to accomplish.

      Whilst I try to remember that I should love all, you always remind me that I love you

      above all.

      Dad

      In places they also reflect my battle with mental
