Aesthetic Romanticist Seeks..... A Beautiful World: Golden Hummus Burger

Welcome To A Compassionate World Blog Spot!

I believe in living in a compassionate world. I do not believe that someone is of less value because they may lack in education, finances or other outwardly means. Nor because of color, race, religion, and so on. I also, strongly believe that, ALL Earthlings, not only humans, have value and should be held in high regard. Some of the things that I witness, almost daily, in this world, make me ache with sadness. The human being can be unbelievably cruel, not only to one another but to other inhabitants of this beautiful Earth and to Mother Earth herself...... Let’s stop the madness!

"The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a true believer to be compassionate. No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands." ~Arthur H. Stainback
"Our task must be to free ourselves . . . by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." ~Albert Einstein

This Blog will be about my thoughts, opinions and perceptions of the world in which we live. About the world that I wish to live in. And about all that intrigues and fascinates me.

I hope that a few of you out there can relate...... for I often feel alone in the outside world. A world, that in my opinion, is overly concerned about status, possessions and doing whatever is necessary to get ahead. To me, it appears, rude, pushy, selfish and uncaring. It is a world I try not to live in whenever I do not have to.

If you have a sensitive spirit, believe in random acts of kindness, and strive to beautify and positively enhance the world in whatever way that you can, then you are welcome to MY world.

Come in, relax, visit with the kitties, have a nice cup of Earl Grey, eat some Havarti with dijon, listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons, look at the beautiful architecture and gardens (those are some of my most favorite things!), and feel free to leave your comments...... just remember to *please* mind your P's and Q's, for "rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength", (a quote by Eric Hoffer). :-)
