    However, it's about embracing the essence of those concepts and, as Martin (Minstrel says), having, I quote: "the wisdom and serenity to know whats really important in life" [clue: not money or material possessions], and not taking your eye off that ball

    Cool - and *that*, my friend, [and liking what you see, I don't necessarily mean in a physical sense, but as they say, your eyes are the window to your soul - and so only by liking who/what YOU are, can you hope to love or like others], is VERY important.

    And yes, I'm quite a perceptive person. Too many broken/damaged people out there, spending their 'lives' hating the world and everyone in it, as a result of not liking what they see when they look in that mirror....

    Getting rather deep today, aren't we?

    But isn't that a bit like marking your own homework? Look in mirror, see self, happy with what you see, job done.

    But as Rabbie Burns put it:
    'O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
    To see oursels as ithers see us!'
