A beautiful rose and a precise and accurate principle. There is never any middle ground when it comes to human nature in a crisis. It does bring out the best... and the worst.

Sorry I almost missed this @bleujay!

Greetings @meesterboom......Always appreciate you dropping by.

Thank you for your kind reply.....your wording brought to mind Charle Dickens....It was the best of times...it was the worst of .....well now we will have to have the rest of it...will we not?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
English novelist (1812 - 1870)

Must say the internet is convenient. Sounds like today....does it not?

So happy to hear you enjoyed the post.

Wishing you and yours all the best......Cheers.

You would have been forgiven...no worries... ^_^

edit...sent you a message via chat...

It's a fantastic piece. I remember in school was when I first read Dickens. I like a lot of the classics. In fact I think my idea of a Victorian gentleman may steem from an amalgam of readings like this :)

I can agree with your principle any time.

But unfortunately, in people, who can afford anything and were not involved in some kind of disaster it brings out the worst. Jet again the ones, who suffered the most will try to help others like they are their own family. A real shame that the money usually brings out the worst, while it could do quite the opposite.

Btw great photograps. Really liked them and I can't decide which one is the best!

Thank you for your kind reply.

So happy to hear you enjoyed the post.

No worries.....there is no contest....presenting several for the enjoyment of seeing a subject differently. ^_^

Cheers.

Hehe. I usually have the problem how to choose photos for my posts. In the end, I can't decide and post more than I should. :)

I like to think it brings out both in me.

Very humourous....

Thank you for your witty reply @bigram13.

We hope for the sake of others......it is your best response we see and you keep the other to yourself. ^_^

All the best to you and yours. Cheers.

Beautiful. I especially like the black and white one. It has a certain charm to it.

Thank you for your kind words @jondoe.

So glad to hear you can appreciate the B&W one.

Welcome to Seemit.

Thank you! Glad to be here!

What an incisive and true principle, people have huge capacity for great kindness and great cruelty. I have heard of the looting going on in the aftermath of the hurricane, as you say there is no middle ground.

It may sound strange but the pictures of the flower should remind us that we all have a good heart sometimes we just forget!

Thanks again for such a thought provoking post.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply @scottish01.

Yes...seeing the news out of the Caribbean, the States and elsewhere....the desperate situations there....had bleujay thinking about how we really for the most part are not aware of what happens when people are pushed to extremes. And these circumstances may perhaps give us pause enough to think through this sort of thing......choosing to be objective rather than subjective.....rational rather than irrational.....thoughtful of others rather than preoccupied with self.

Such a set of circumstances gives opportunity to realise our need of a power greater than ourselves.....a situation in which the person comes face to face with his weaknesses....in such a time perhaps becoming interested in who God is.

That is an interesting thought regarding the rose. The potential for a good heart comes with knowing the One who is absolute good. We begin by believing in Christ Jesus and then by learning His word under a pastor trained in the original languages of the Bible.

So glad to hear you can appreciate the post.

All the best to you and your family. Cheers.

Holy freaking moly!
Your principle just hit me hard :)
I hope you're alright out there Mon Ami
everything okay?

Thank you for your reply @englishtchrivy.

Indeed...after reading your post.....bleujay came back and read this principle and your reply and thought the same thing.....Oh My Goodness.....

Oh yes...things are going as planned....will send you a note in chat....no worries...mon ami.

A bientot.

okay, that's good to know
I thought you experienced a mishap, too
no worries - everything's okay now but I wonder about something so I posted it anyway - basically the title of my post
and I think 90% of what we get - we are responsible for yes?
the rest - basically out of our control - and the worst sometimes with a very heavy impact, too
but we just have to laugh at it - and if not today - one day we shall :)

Certainly in the misery department....much of it is self induced....brought on by wrong decisions and such.

However it is God who graces us out.....time after time despite our bad decisions.

When it comes to something one has no control over......my mind picks up the story of Job....or of Daniel...all for our benefit...God knows best. Sometimes for the purpose of nudging us in the right direction and sometimes for the purpose of learning something...yet always for our benefit. Romans 8.28 All things work together for good to those who love Him.

And yes....they say...Time heals all wounds.

And in the end we realise that some things we take for granted are more important as a result of an experience. All good. Life is fragile and yet we forget.

Thank you for the opportunity to think on these things. …sobering as they are....so glad you are still here. ^_^

Kind Regards mon ami.

i agree !
only we could hurt or allow ourselves to be hurt indeed

I wanted to write the Romans 8:28 - but I can't remember the verse
so thank you for writing that
I'm having it printed and framed ! It's my favorite verse! and yet I forgot the verse hahaha
It's similar to the Pronoia :) - I learned about the verse before I did about the pronoia though
otherwise I wont get to appreciate the pronoia

yes.. I guess this incident just brought us closer
am sure glad to be alive, too
you know if some people are like cats and they have 9 lives
this is my 5th - supposed to be - death
not that am afraid to die though
the angel of death seems to have been always hesitant or my guardian angels are just superb at doing their job!
Thanks be to God! Cheers!
gotta go - sleep tight Mon Ami and stay safe!

Perhaps people need to rely on faith more, I do think that if it's something that has been forgotten in recent times.

I think that we all need to have a strong foundation in belief, whatever that belief and faith is, it should help us strive for better.

Very philosophical for a Tuesday night :-)

Thank you for the engaging and intelligent reply.

A very small percentage that you see are the worse ones. Mostly friends and neighbors are around to help. The people there to rob someone probably tend to stay away from large groups. Thank you for your concern @bleujay. Hansenator, graceland, scottland, and vegansilverstack are fine! I got some great footage, but it will take me a bit to compile it. We shall see.

Thank you for the update @hansenator.

Greetings to @graceland, scottland and vegansilverstack.

I am glad to hear you and the others are well and getting things sorted.

Looking forward to your post.

All the best to you. Cheers.

We all prayed for those people and sent our thought to them. Yes, we can see good or bad in people in disaster, I agree with you.

Beautiful white rose! It is one of my favorites. Great shot both in color photos and black and white photo!

Well done! Have a good day! ;)

Thank you for your lovely reply @tangmo.

Always appreciate you stopping by.

Very thoughtful of you to think of them in that way.

Yes....said another way....disaster brings out the best or the worst in people. Perhaps that makes more sense.

Thank you for the compliments regarding the rose photograghs. Is the Bianca floribunda rose available in your area?

Looking forward to seeing what you have out there.

All the best to you. Cheers.

With my great pleasure! I'm glad to hear that!

You're right! I absolutely agree with your statement, "disaster brings out the best or the worst in people".

Actually, I have a little knowledge about the kinds of roses. I think I've seen this rose in my area, but I'm not sure whether it is the same or not....

All the best to you, too! Cheers! ;)

Its that time of the life where a person can flourish or can be destroyed with his own attempts if one used the opportunity he can grow and if one cannot seize the opportunity he can be broken down such a nice principle that was to read thanks for sharing this :) and a beautiful rose clicks that was so cool too :D

Thank you for your lovely rely @blazing.

Appreciate you stopping by.

Thank you for your compliments.....very kind of you.

All the best. Cheers.

O yes, I agree with your principle. In the most difficult situation people show their true face...
White rose! Soft, pure and gentle beauty; fabulous my dear :)))
Wish you a great day :)

Thank you for your kind reply dear @pepe.maya.

Always appreciate you dropping by for a cuppa. ^_^

Yes....that is a way of saying it...to be sure....their true face....sobering.

The photographs have communicated to you....the purpose of the white rose....sweet. ^_^

Wishing you and yours all the best. Cheers.
