We measure our world by the limits of our knowledge and experience. If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything like nails. Bigotry, bias, and prejudice are all words that describe this limited view (hammer) each of us tends to embrace and apply. A dog does not comprehend poetry, nor does an infant calculus.

Even if a dog would like to understand poetry, it couldn't and will never grow into it either. On the other hand, a child's view of the world can expand continually throughout life. Unfortunately, as we get into our teenage years and...

I was involved in something at the weekend that left me feeling guilty. Was I actually guilty though, and how can this lesson affect us all? I was playing in my first curling tournament. It's a micro niche sport in this country, in fact there are only 3 purpose built sheets in the whole of England, and I was delighted last year to find that they are only a 40 minute drive from me.

I love this quote by Mother Theres,"There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread In a management survey I read recently 88% of people who left their company said they didnt receive enough acknowledgement for the work they did and felt unappreciated.

He chatted for a while and really praised the displays on the wall but pointed out that there was some blu-tac missing from one of the paintings and he thought it looked untidy as the left hand corner was curling...
