The Gifts Of Life

I like to see your generous heart, Chris.

The Gifts Of Life

I like all your Buddhist quotes Bod, full of wisdom.

The Gifts Of Life

You're right, we're taking over all the animals territory little by little.

Look what they're doing in Borneo..cutting all the trees where the orangutans live, all for the palm oil industry.

My contribution...I don't buy palm oil or any products that contain it.

The Gifts Of Life

Yes, giving feels good, but doesn't necessarily mean you have a surplus?
Or maybe it's showing us that we can share things and learn to live with less?

Antelopes? Do you think they're in great danger, chris?

The Gifts Of Life

Actually, the latest one is called "the ultimate gift"
The message being:
"Life is how you live it, not how you spend it".

It's only available to rent or buy on YouTube.

The Gifts Of Life

Hahaha.. I know the feeling of the "happy finger" .

Those values you posted are very good!
Especially Compassion, Tolerance and Patience.

Have you seen the film by any chance?
Worth watching!
No violence nor swearing.

The Gifts Of Life

There are 3 versions of this film and this one is the latest and a remake.

I found it very interesting with a good moral.

The Gifts Of Life

Something to ponder over...

For those who have seen the film “The ultimate gift”...

It touches on important life lessons, where the main character, in order to receive the inheritance his grandfather had left him, must set out on a journey of self-discovery to earn the true gift his grandfather meant for him to have.
The twelve gifts were;

The value of hard work,
The value of money,
The value of friendships,
The value of learning,
The value of problems and challenges,
The value of family,
The value of dreams and how to turn a dream into reality,
The value of giving,
The value of gratitude and being thankful, instead of taking things for granted. The value of Love and that “Success" is following your passions, helping those around you and reaching the end of your life knowing that you have made a difference in the lives of others that you love and those who love you.

Maybe you can add to the list?

The story inspires people to realize that, the “only way you can truly get more out of life for yourself. is by helping others”.

Thanks for posting Tom.

RE: Most SZ people hear voices

Someone in France used to hear voices and she got burned at the stake.


Leonard Cohen wrote a song about her.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Lucky you Tom!

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Not really. I prefer to see animals in their natural environment
No zoos or SeaWorld for me!

RE: Dolphin intelligence

I suppose so but, The best experience for me would have been to go swimming with them but, to tell you the truth, I'm a bit scared of swimming in the sea where it's deep.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

However, if it's too windy it's not good as the sea is rough and the water is not clear.

The photo I took of the baby whale, the sea was very calm. It looked like a swimming pool

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Sometimes...when it's windy. It's only a small boat.

But the boat trip one is 8 meters and we had to turn off the motor because the whales don't like the noise.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Ok..you're forgiven.
You do know that I LOVE ALL animals...nomatter which.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

No, that's where I live.
They organise 5 hour boat trips and go quite a long way out.

But sometimes I go with my neighbour when he goes fishing.
More dolphins come near as we don't use the motor.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Hey..am I being told off?

RE: Dolphin intelligence

A bigger one ..very curious animal.
I touched its head too.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

One of the baby pilot whales on my sea trip.
The mother was nearby.

They're my favourite.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Only the bottle nose ones.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Correct!

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Haha..I had one like this too from Poole pottery.

Now I have one from Venice made out of Murano glass.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

I did write a blog about it once...with pics.
The pilot whales were absolutely adorable!
I'll look for some pics.

RE: For the barking mad, the sane, and the superficially troubled.

Yes it does!

And a trout wouldn't be able to communicate with a lobster as they are not the same species.

RE: For the barking mad, the sane, and the superficially troubled.

I entirely agree! It is a FACT which has been proven!

RE: For the barking mad, the sane, and the superficially troubled.

Very true!
Between species, there is telepathic communication. Ants come to mind.

RE: Dolphin intelligence

Don´t you get me started with dolphins - and orcas! , Tom!
They are my favourite aquatic animals.

Here, they swim quite near the shore and, during the confinement time, you could see them quite close.

I´ve been on the boat and they were jumping from both sides. I even touched one - and also a pilot whale. Unforgettable experience!

They also respond to music - especially the harmonica with high pitch tones.

RE: For the barking mad, the sane, and the superficially troubled.

True!
But I have seen dolphins and orcas killing themselves when kept in captivity.

RE: For the barking mad, the sane, and the superficially troubled.

Wow..! Very nice but...
How many do you think live up to those standards?

Yes, it is a beautiful world and we are creators of our own life.
So we should enjoy it to the full, and make the best of it.
