Kingdom of Heaven, what a great movie, and yes I am having a very medieval day. One f my favorite movies, if you haven’t seen it you should. What brought this on? Well, I am super nerdy watching this castle show I found on Netflix. Yes, a show all about Brittish castles and their history and mysteries. This sort of thing just makes me wonder, how amazing would it had been in them, of course during peace time. How amazing these structures have become over the years. It also makes me hungry for another trip to the UK. I would love to be there for several weeks to see the whole country. Bucket list for sure. I would be a journey of a lifetime for me, you know all the historic nerdy things I like. Above the love of art, is my love just central European history. Just like my love for Boston, is my new love for London. If I had it my way, I would reside at either. So many things to learn and explore.
It is interesting how the things that bothered people them are the same as today. It was all about love and war. Naturally, over time the two have been watered down to all the social issues we have today. Which is why learning history is so unbelievably important. You need to be able to learn from the past since you cannot change it. It also has a dark angle, which is to repeat itself. I am a believer, that those who don’t learn from it parish. Just take a look at the political and social problems of today. Although we have evolved as a species, we are still prehistoric in certain realms of life. I do believe in the best in people, as long as they use their head correctly. This is probably the only political statement I will ever make, I wish those in power would learn from the ones from the past. Learn to humble themselves and have the real best intention of those they oath to protect.
I fear that we no longer can protect even things in our own home, in our own heart. As time has given us infinite possibilities, we have lost others. I blame the internet for such endeavors. We have unlimited opportunities for learning, teaching, and sharing. Concisely it has also given us the demeaning, online dating. One of the best and worst things that have happened to me, to say the least. I guess in better terms, it has given me lessons, Lessons of trust, love and personal growth. One thing that I am truly grateful for is my new man (which yes I met online) and this, literally the ability to write the things that I am able to. It brings me immense amounts of joy that people in other places can read this blog and know you are not alone. What you are going thru is what so many people are going thru also.
Til next time…
XOXO
