no I don't have much in the way of morals or moral obligations. ha no just teasing.. wow I didn't know Albert Einstein had those quotes, he was more of a social activist and philosopher than I realized.
Hey.. loved this post and you are so right about our moral obligations as individuals and as society on the points you mentioned. great post and I was reading the equally great comments! brilliant job youhavewings! what is the dropintheocean tag?
LOL!
Yes, it's interesting about Einstein....he actually had a lot of deep and wise thoughts. As person in general though, he spent very little time with his wife and children but I guess I can see also see that he had a place in history and a mission that perhaps drove him more than personal relationship and had he had these relationships, perhaps he couldn't have achieved what he did. I seemed to remember letters that appeared some years back between he and his children that spoke about this.
The tag is through buddyup and they do a topic every week. You should check it out! I would send you an invite but I don't know how to do that! But here is a link to the dropintheocean post: https://steemit.com/dropintheocean/@buddyup/drop-in-the-ocean-021-goals
Have a wonderful day, @janton Always wonderful hearing from you and thank you for your kind words.
howdy this fine Tuesday youhavewings! thanks for this information and I think Einstein would make for a fascinating series of posts wouldn't it?
at least for me it would be a series, I don't have time to do long ones usually.
I mean how many people really know what he was like?
but anyway thanks for your kind words, you are a real blessing to steemit and we need more like you!
Hey Texas! Well, I think you should go for it! It would be an interesting series of posts.....the real Einstein. He was also involved in the A bomb project....wonder if he had the same reaction as Oppenheimer (ever see that video of Oppenheimer? It's pretty profound).
Awww What sweet words, @janton That made my day - nice to hear things like that every once in a while. You are too, engaging people to talk and discuss.
I'm working on my IFC Final entry and trying to beat the hurricane that is about to hit us here! LOL Hopefully I can get it in before electricity goes out ;)
Enjoy your Tuesday
oh my gosh, I didn't know how close to the coast you guys are! if you're still online let me know what the situation is, we're following it on the weather.
what is a IFC Final entry?
We're like two hours from the coast. Look up Raleigh. It's suppose to stall and sit on top of us with 24" of rain for days! Gusts 80mph. We shall see....I've been through quite a few on the Gulf that were really bad but you know the deep south Gulf states know how to deal with these things....not so much here. Hopefully it will change its mind.
IFC Contest - I made it to the final two and then it tied so we've got to break the tie. Next season starts in October I think - You should join in! The topics change up and the quests change up so not always writing. Here's the link: https://steemit.com/contest/@ifc/ifc-championship-round-results
howdy back youhavewings! well who knows when you'll get this but I'm going to be watching that storm very closely now because of you guys being there.
as far as the contest, I don't understand it but generally I don't do them, especially if they are games or something, I just don't do games or if they're writing, I'm not much of a story writer and I'm a big zero as far as creative writing.
but I'm thrilled to see you thriving in it!
stay safe!
It's not all creative writing and you can submit anything that suits your fancy as long as it involves the topic. They also do a photo scavenger hunt which is really fun. And you don't have to do all of them, just the ones you feel compelled to join in. There is really something for everyone. Sometimes it's a topic that requires researching, too. Doesn't have to be creative writing - you seem to like to share facts about certain topics so it could be like that. Here's a little fact, I didn't know I was a storyteller until I joined steemit/IFC So, you never know what you'll find inside yourself until you try it out. I think that is why I support the IFC.
Yes, I'm getting a little freaked out about this hurricane. We've got FEMA here now and it seems the storm is on an exact path. Umph ! Boarding up windows today?
howdy back youhavewings! but I just heard on the news this morning that they thought the hurricane was starting to turn??
