One of them is wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight. In one of my favorite movies "Anna and the King" Anna says that age and wisdom do not necessarily go hand in hand. So I am searching.

                <description><![CDATA[ Recently I've been thinking about how fragile living is. The thin membrane between life and death is so unthinkable that we can't understand or predict it.<br /><br />About a week ago a little girl, only 12, where at a new year's party with her school. Little did she, or her friends at her table, knew that within a three hours time she would be dead. That night, when she happily crossed the road on her way home, she was run over by a car. She died instantaneous. Her short life was over in a few seconds.<br /><br />What I want you to think about is appriciation. Appreciate your life. Appreciate the life of your friend, sister, father, wife, son, the old woman next door, etc. Because it's precious. It's given to you for protection and nursing.<br /><br />As a rose could be a creation to relate to, we know that it is beautiful, but with thorns that can cause great pain. It is a symbol of love. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So as I dived through YouTube one day I came across Charlotte Church. What a singer! Her voice is breathtaking. I love music and YouTube is a oasis of music with many lost and unknown treasures. And ofcourse a chest of humorous adittions from different hillarious folks.<br /><br />Back to Charlotte. I mentioned that she had a beautiful voice(she sounded like a "grown-up" when she was only 13!), but what I can't understand is why she began with motsly-no-chlotes-but-a-push-up-and-shake-ass-pop? I don't know much about her though so it could been a little era of her career, but I think when you have a voice like that you shouldn't "spoil" it.<br /><br />Anyway.. Check her out. Especially the "Dream a dream" and the other classics. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />. She's amazing!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. <br />
<br />
<br />
"My <br />
confession: <br />
<br />
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees. <br />
<br />
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a crche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away .<br />
<br />
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.<br />
<br />
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to. <br />
<br />
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking. <br />
<br />
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?" <br />
<br />
In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.<br />
<br />
Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.<br />
<br />
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.<br />
<br />
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."<br />
<br />
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can <br />
send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.<br />
<br />
Are you laughing? <br />
<br />
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it. <br />
<br />
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us. <br />
<br />
Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. My Best Regards. <br />
<br />
<br />
Honestly and <br />
respectfully,<br />
<br />

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK. <br />
