If you were somehow given the opportunity to decide on an 8th wonder of the world, what would you want it to be?

Would you invent or create something original or would you choose something that already exists somewhere in world and should have been one of the wonders of the world but it is not one?

Let’s see...hmmm something remarkable.... Electricity. I would nominate Electricity because you cant see it yet we wouldn’t have the standard of living we enjoy today and most current technologies (Including the internet) and life support systems depend on it wine

Yes, something remarkable is a must for sure. That's a great choice.

Long story. In the past, I had an "experience" (that's what I'll call it) that was something that was completely unexpected happen to me. It was something that changed the course of my life forever. It was something unfortunate but ended up surprisingly was a miraculous event. It was something that was such an eye-opener for me that I realised that all my life, I had taken so much for granted, even the simplest things in life, such as taking the time to stop and smell the roses and even appreciate the beauty of them.

As humans, we tend not to appreciate things we take for granted. I see so much now differently and appreciate what I have learned, experienced, etc. I'm even grateful for the "experience" itself that could have ended up just the opposite in a very negative way.

Well, come on, what was this awakening dark cloud with a silver lining Friskyone. I hope it’s nothing too personal and you will tell us. hug

That's a great way of describing it as. Unfortunately, no offense, but I really would prefer not to disclose it. I apologize to you and everyone else for leaving you wondering. hug

Perhaps that the world itself is flat, cubic or like some ancients believed, we are on the back of a turtle.

For me it's water. Especially that water where I've paddled for several years now and never got tired of changes and beauty in it.

There's also plastic in it, that I fish out when I can :(

It's big and it's bronze and it's a statue of Alex Jones, in New York Bay.
