Les I do not drink these days its been over a year.
I am honest and a very shy person whose humour often falls flat.
I am the person who you never notice in a crowd.
I am the person who lets everyone else go first.
Maybe I give the wrong impression but I like to think I am a timid skrt of guy.

Try lawyer or real estate agent or now an old man with a walking frame.

May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your very sucessful thread.
It may not change the world but I am confident that you havecaused many folk to think about the matter and indeed generally how humans negatively impact the planet.
You should be proud well done.

The skies clear, The stars are out and I'm imaging with my new FSQ106.

Maybe some-one can now start a thread about Astronomy for the next cloudy period.

Good night!

With all due respect to everyone's different beliefs. So what about the big fish that eats the small fish? i do agree that we need to make things sustainable and avoid over fishing. Also for all of us who own cats and dogs we don't exactly feed the vegetables now do we. I think the OP mentioned he runs an animal refuge now at this refuge what do you feed the animals?

humans do have I think a role to play as caretakers and ensure we don't destroy and drive species to extinction.

The difficulty in tryingr to be better is when we look around you notice so many things that are wrong you just feel there is any point in even trying.

I still eat meat and what is worse I avoid feeling guilty about it.

And whilst I am chewing on a chop bone I will open the door to hunt out a fly.
Is it inconsistent, yes of course it is, I would be a fool not to see that..

But I try to be a little better and by trying to be a little better I move forward and maybe I can inspire another to be kinder.

Its not only the fly I am trying to be kind to its about being kind all the time to everyone and everything.

I dont think you can be selectively kind.. So even the fly enjoys my kindness but so does the poor person behind a counter who only sees and hears folk complaining and treating them as if they did not exist.

I find such Joy in showing them kindness by expressing appreciation or just making them feel that another sees them as a person.

Its what we do as humans we try to be better.
Take a better photo, improve our machinery... All of it is a process.

We dont give up because our first capture was out of focus and it can be the same with kindness and decency, we can improve, and there will be hypocracies we must endure, I try to recognise mine but I wont let my recognition cause me to give up on being kind.
