I Started As - Well, I Wanted

You Cannot Share Your Life With A Dog, As I Had Done In Bournemouth, Or A Cat, And Not Know Perfectly Well That Animals Have Personalities And Minds And Feelings.

I Don't Spend That Much Time Being Introspective, Believe It Or Not. All I Know Is That I Grew Up Not Questioning God Because That's How You Are. God Was There Like The Birds And The Wind.

....i Understood Why Those Who Had Lived Through War Or Economic Disasters, And Who Had Built For Themselves A Good Life And A High Standard Of Living, Were Rightly Proud To Be Able To Provide For Their Children Those Things Which They Themselves Had Not Had. And Why Their Children, Inevitably, Took Those Things For Granted. It Meant That New Values And New Expectations Had Crept Into Our Societies Along With New Standards Of Living. Hence The Materialistic And Often Greedy And Selfish Lifestyle Of So Many Young People In The Western World, Especially In The United States.

Realize That Change - Whilst We Want It To Happen Fast - Is Usually The Result Of A Great Deal Of Work, And Often Comes As A Result Of A Series Of Compromises (so Long As We Do Not Compromise Our Values).

If You Look Through All The Different Cultures. Right From The Earliest, Earliest Days With The Animistic Religions, We Have Sought To Have Some Kind Of Explanation For Our Life, For Our Being, That Is Outside Of Our Humanity.
