The Essence of Individuality

"Until now I would often wonder why many people consider uniqueness a negative quality. Isn't this the essence of individuality? Don't all of us strive to be our own person?"—aLfie vera mella, Plucking Leafs from My Tree of Memories

    Majo,
    As I always quote from the contemporary Chinese writer Adeline Yen Mah: "One written word is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

    For your kind words, thanks; they are sparks of inspiration. People like you keep me going....

    Yes, I'm a Filipino, too (I assume that you, too, are.)

    Most of all, thanks for your good wishes for me and my better half. We need them.

    Jomama,
    My gratitude. I visited your blog and began delving into your own microcosm.

    And then, on that first exploration, I readily stumbled upon a few pieces of gold for the mind.

    Again, I thank you by way of quoting something I learned today from your own realms:

    "The readiness to praise others indicates a desire for excellence and perhaps an ability to realize it."--Eric Hoffer (1902-1983), American philosopher
