and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one.”

When you choose to see the good in others,
you end up seeing the good in yourself…

Do you want to be beautiful?
From Let’s appreciate all good men – our true supermen
From comicuniverse.com
In 1832 Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov wrote a poem ‘The Reed” about a murdered young lady:
He wanted me to love him –
His passion left me cold;
He tried to give me money –
I did not want his gold.
Then with a knife he struck me,
And to the ground I sank;
He dug a grave and buried
My body on the bank.
While highlighting the crimes committed by bad men against women, this poem also features a good man as well as provides a very good description of a bad man:
“With men he was dishonest,
With beauties he was sly.”
These are the key words for me in that poem, as in my experience those men, who are treating women badly are also very nasty to other men. While good men treat all people well, including other men, women and children. Therefore any generalizations blaming and shaming all men for poor treatment of women are false and misleading.
As Camille Paglia, for centuries “men have sacrificed and crippled themselves physically and emotionally to feed, house, and protect women and children.” Unfortunately, the pain or achievements of good men often goes unnoticed in the flood of negative stories related to bad men. 😦
Let’s appreciate those men, who care about others and treat other people well. Let’s appreciate those men, who are supporting women and helping them through hard times. Let’s appreciate those men who are empowering women and helping them to develop new skills. Let’s appreciate those men, who come to the rescue when women get caught in dangerous situations. Let’s not forget that those men often risk their own health and their own lives to help out women. On my blog I’ve got a few examples of good men in action – across different cultures and time periods, e.g.:
- Real Men are True Supermen
- The Musk-Ox
- Heroism and Compassion: John Rabe
- WoMEN for Women in Iraq
- A Young Gypsy
Let’s appreciate all good men – our true supermen 🙂

Love is patient with a life…
Love is patient with a life
That brings its share of pain.
We know sometime there is an end
To the most stubborn rain.
We know the sun comes out again
On a world that’s fresh and new,
And all the gifts we freely give
Somewhere, sometime accrue.
We know sometimes we have to wait
For life to come around,
And sometimes that it won’t, but still
There’s some good to be found.
And even when things happen that
Your soul can hardly bear,
Know that I’ll be next to you;
My love is always there.

Filling Empty Minds
From Motivational and Inspirational Quotes
Each one of us starts empty,
Just waiting to be filled,
With love and words
And things we learn;
The empty space is killed.
Displaced with all the good things,
And sometimes with the bad,
We learn from
Those around us
And the special times we’ve had.
When we are still quite empty,
In our younger years,
It’s easy for us,
To fill up,
With love and hope and fears.
It means the young are easy led,
And learn things very fast,
But bad times leave,
A dirty mark,
Even when long passed.
When spending time with young friends,
We need to think about,
The lessons that
We’re teaching them:
They’re quicker in than out.
There’s positives within this,
Because those younger minds,
Will grow and flourish
Happily
When watered with good times.
by Pooky H
THE END
Life is like a camera: just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t turn out, just take another shot
Let go of those who bring you down. Surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you.

Warriors are not what you think of as warriors…
From Hippie Peace Freaks
“Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.”
