Thank you @stef1 for your thought-full and kind reply.

Lovely to hear......that is what they are supposed to do....cause one to ponder these timeless truths.

To answer your wonderings.....bleujay is a student....of history...of the philosophers...of the Bible....where many of these principles originate. Life is full of purpose, meaning and definition when one is a student of the Bible under the intruction of a pastor who studies from the original languages of the Bible.

Your expressed thoughts are true....we in the West are not quite aware of this treasure or we would not give it away.....always good to be reminded. Your comment concerning the river was lovely to think on.

All the best.

Cheers.
