It's all smoke and mirrors...

Two men stand atop a magnificent gorge, before them lies a majestic forest of strong and healthy trees, bursting with life and all of natures beauty. One man says to the other "Isn't it just gorgeous?" The other man replies by exclaiming "yeah, all of those trees are fantastic; must be worth a fortune in wood chips"
There are always at least two points of view that are equally valid in any argument.
I believe that we must be mindfull of two things... Consequence of our actions and the effects that those actions can have on others. I believe that we can all learn something from the Chinese 'Tao' or indeed, from Japanese Zen. The eastern philosophies promote harmony of spirit and the respect and cohabitation of all living (and non-living) things. After all, we are no more a significant part of this world as butterflies or ants are. -We just make more noise.
It is my belief that we must always be mindful of the feelings of others and strive to improve our social skills afterall, we are social creatures: Our survival relies on the dependance we have on others. What can I say....

OK, I am a bit of a space cadet afterall.
