11, 11, 11.

What is the meaning.?

So, this is a solemn week ending on Friday with the remembrance Day observances.

The armistice was signed before laying down of arms at the 11th day of the 11th month after 11:00 hour.

So, it is on us to remember the sacrifice of people who secured our freedom over time with the military forces. However it shouldn’t be a lecture, it should be just a getting together and agreeing on the sense that sometimes over time things haven’t worked out and force was required. And that we can benefit from observing the slippery slope that brought that into being in the past.

Then taking a sober view of the remembrance knowing that it can incite all kinds of old wounds if the agreement isn’t widespread that it should never happen again.

So good luck with that, as I leave you with a quote from the character Sandra Bullock played in the movie Gravity. When she was in terrible Jeopardy trying to get away from a falling apart space station,she said I know that we all die and with tears she went on to say but I’m going to die right now.

How to live on properly.

To expound on her feeling yes everybody does die, but how they die is important,not leaving baggage, chaos or conflict, but a peace presence of thoughts of you is a noble charge.
