I have never blindly or intentionally adhered to any political, sociological or religious movement, I haven’t been very politically active and I haven’t taken any part in the defense of minorities or any other groups’ rights, nor have I been part in any fanatic religious organisation… well, at least not in this lifetime. On the contrary, I have tended to withdraw and avoid committing to causes, projects and missions.

Life and Its Gifts – Appreciation
Have you ever been presented with a situation and then looked back and wondered why?
Why did this happen, why did they say that? A situation that you later have appreciation for!
Life is continually presenting so much to us. Do we ever truly stop to feel what we are really being shown?
