I remember telling my English teacher in High School how much I loved Kahlil Gibran, and her comment was that he was a womanizer and his words weren't worth the paper they were written on. That was when I started learning to question and think about the perspectives of those in authority positions. I decided that even though the man might not have been perfect, his words were full of wisdom. I also have found through the years that people who don't gain any experience in life can be somewhat lacking in depth and compassion. I do feel some connection to people who post in response to my posts, and I also feel some connection with those that I follow as I see their colors singing out. But to me, these things are different from spending time with true friends, sharing eye contact, having some sense of continuity. I'm so happy for the Internet because I can learn so much and enjoy so much, but at times I also remember my Grandmother's comment in her diary of 1926, when she said that she thought people were becoming overwhelmed with the amount of information available to them. Imagine the peace of her childhood. I think it was probably a very good time.<br /> Jen Berghagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973717048727971117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017454390441443449.post-4223501340179763032015-09-10T04:30:21.587-07:002015-09-10T04:30:21.587-07:00I like your chart.

It was hard for me to adjust after my father's death, I think because I did not have the opportunity to say goodbye. A long discussion with my family physician helped me understand the grief process. At least I understood there WAS a process. That was before there was an internet. A reflection on our society is evident when those on Facebook think those that read what they post are "friends". So sad.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.com
